Business events in Brisbane offer opportunities to connect with local business owners and entrepreneurs in a social environment. These events include seminars and workshops on a range of topics. Many of these events are free.
Brisbane is a unique world city with renowned event venues and thriving precincts. Its vibrant culture, cosmopolitan dining scene and natural wonders are the perfect ingredients for an unforgettable business event. Here are some of the event benefits of events held at The Brisbane Club.
Free business events
Whether you’re a big business or a small start-up, there are events in Brisbane to help you learn more about running your business. Some of these events are free, while others require a registration fee. You can find these events in local publications and online, as well as through clubs, professional associations, and ethnic groups.
The Business Connect Calendar is a great place to discover the many free events that are available. This includes networking events, workshops, webinars and more. You can also register your own event for extra promotion. The calendar is updated regularly so you’ll always know what’s new!
These events are a great way to meet other business owners and share ideas. They can even lead to potential partnerships. For example, Women in Digital is hosting a speed mentoring event where you can meet with a mentor and get advice on your business.
Brisbane is a great location for businesses looking to expand their reach. Its global outlook and exceptional industry strengths make it a highly competitive business destination. Its fertile business environment and state policies also make it an ideal location for investors.
Brisbane City Council and Your Marketing Machines are delivering a series of free marketing workshops to support local businesses. These events are designed to help you improve your business’s marketing strategy and increase sales.
Free food safety sessions
All food businesses (restaurants and cafes, hotels, licensed clubs, supermarkets, service stations and convenience stores, as well as childcare centres, schools and hospitals) are required to have a food safety program to identify and control food safety hazards. This includes a food handler certificate requirement for workers. A food handler certificate is a document that shows that a person has completed the necessary training to work with and handle potentially hazardous foods safely in commercial settings. For more information, go to the Queensland Government website. Noosa Shire Council also conducts free Food Handler Training sessions every two months for local food businesses.
Free supplier forums
Business events can be an excellent way to grow your network and attract new clients. You can also find out about upcoming opportunities, and meet with local business people in your field. You can even take part in a free workshop that will teach you about securing business grants and other financial assistance.
Brisbane’s thriving city and natural wonders make it a unique global destination for business events. With a 24/7 airport, quality affordable accommodation and a range of world-class event facilities, this dynamic city is a business events favourite. From secluded snorkelling spots to world-class restaurants, and a cosmopolitan shopping and dining scene, it has something for everyone.
A city with a progressive outlook and a commitment to sustainability, Brisbane offers an attractive environment for businesses. This is reflected in its reputation for innovation. For example, the city was one of the first in Australia to launch a carbon neutral strategy and invest in digital innovation. It is also home to world-class research centres and leading universities.
These monthly supplier forums are open to current and prospective small, medium and large suppliers, including business owners, business development managers and tendering teams. These 20-minute sessions will provide an opportunity to speak face-to-face with a Council Business Liaison Officer and learn about various aspects of working with Council. They will cover topics such as how Council buys, the Tender Process and Better Brisbane Proposals (market led proposals).

In addition, the toolkit provides helpful information on other permits and approvals that may be required to run your event.
The Ladies Wine and Design (LWD) end of year social networking event is back again, this time at Driven in Spring Hill. It’s a great opportunity for women, non-binary and agender people in the design industry to meet other like-minded peers and build connections.
