Adventurer, award-winning documentary-maker,
television presenter, and businessman, Todd Sampson, will headline with the
Geelong Small Business Festival in a packed event at The Pier Geelong.
During the opening event, the business,
advertising and marketing guru will reveal the practical tools and techniques
you can use to improve your brain and meet the challenges and stresses of
modern life.
City of Greater
Geelong Mayor Peter Murrihy:
We're proud to host the festival and help local businesses gain insights
from one of the best business minds in the country.
Guest speakers, like Todd, can really inspire
business owners and operators to try something different and take their
business to the next level.
We’re thrilled to have secured Todd for this
headline event, and we encourage everyone to book early because tickets are
likely to sell out
Whether you’re experienced in business, a budding entrepreneur or looking to start your own business, the festival provides opportunities to hear from industry experts, up-skill, and make new business connections.
Now in its 12th year, our region’s largest
dedicated business festival features an exciting program of more than 50
low-cost and free events designed to connect, inspire, grow, and support our
local business community.
Economic Development Deputy
Chair, Councillor Bruce Harwood:
Todd Sampson will present an
information session titled Boost your Brain Power, followed by a
question-and-answer session.
Along with hearing from one of Australia’s
best business minds, this is a fantastic opportunity for local business
operators to network and make new contacts with like-minded businesses and
industry experts.
Small businesses are a huge driver of Greater
Geelong’s economy, so we want to provide learning and development opportunities
for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
We have more than 19,000 small businesses in
Greater Geelong, making up around 97 per cent of all businesses.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, much of last
year’s festival was held online, with a small number being held in person and
with a reduced capacity. Despite this shift, the festival still provided an
important boost to our small business community and was attended by almost 700
people.
