About this Event

Businesses in our regional communities are under a huge amount of pressure.

Changes in the way people purchase and engage with products and services is changing. Regional populations are becoming both older and less affluent. Social media is changing what it means to operate a successful business. Climate Change is directly impacting the viability of traditional business by increasing the impact of drought, flood and bushfire.

Under all this weight, regional business is struggling to survive.

The answer is in the internet.

The internet enables connections to new markets and new relationship with customer never possible. New technologies can automate entire business processes enabling more time for making sales and building customer relationships. Location of customers and employees is no longer a limitation.

However, taking advantage of these new opportunities requires business owners to shift their mindset about what it means to be in business.

In this workshop, participants will learn of the trends that are driving global change in the economy, business and customer demands. We will explore how developments in internet technology, enabled by the NBN and Mobile Networks can be leveraged from lead to invoice to create more sustainable and profitable business.

Participants will leave the workshop empowered with a new perspective and a plan to use the tools of the internet to thrive in a new future for regional business.
