YOUR BUSINESS FUTURE IS COMING RIGHT AT YOU.
HOW WELL ARE YOU PREPARED?

What if just one idea from the 2010 Innovative Industries Conference completely transformed your business? Made it better? More profitable and better placed to deal with what’s coming around the corner?

If you’re serious about fireproofing your business against emerging threats, you need to know.

The world is changing. We need to compete in a new business climate based on sustainability, carbon offsets, and using fewer resources. Update your business toolbox with knowledge of vital trends, ideas and must do strategies for long term business survival.

Business insights, imagination, invention and innovation delivered with practical advice and case studies – that’s this year’s conference focus. So whether you’re in business for yourself or in charge of a business, can you afford not to be there? We’re tackling the looming business future with our sleeves rolled up and eyes wide open, and you and your staff are invited to join us.

Oliver Wendell Holmes said 'The mind, stretched by a new idea, can never shrink back to its original dimension.'

We all know that one good idea can save years of struggle. So we’ve put together an exciting line-up of speakers who have many ideas to share. Join local businesses and delegates from all over S.E. Queensland representing small and large enterprises - as well as academia, government and non-governmental organisations.

The 2010 Conference will highlight local, regional and global challenges and opportunities with cutting edge best practice, case studies and stimulating presentations.

'I know a day away from our business can be a stretch,” said Chamber President Loretta Searchfield. “But I wouldn’t want to be the woodcutter who’s too busy cutting wood to sharpen the axe.'

Attendee from last year, Bryan Langler of New Security Installations added, ‘If my business can’t survive a day without me so I can look for ways to make it better, then I need to make changes. Seriously.’

We’ve chosen speakers from the front line of innovation - seasoned communicators and experts in their field - ensuring presentations are lively and relevant, and peppered with opportunity for questions.

The conference gives everyone the chance to network and engage speakers. Share ideas with other attendees, government representatives and leaders in support services. Be there at 6.00pm when another hundred companies join conference delegates for the B2B networking. Mix with similarly-minded business people, speakers, business consultants, and government agencies.

Randy Lagerway, coordinating the conference, said, 'As a small businesses owner I could never afford to engage these speakers on my own. That’s what’s so great about the conference. It brings the best, most current business know-how within everyone’s reach.'

Attendees of the 2009 conference raved about the experience. The 2010 conference is even bigger and better. If you didn’t have time to come last year, here’s a second chance to update your business savvy and align it to emerging trends.
