This is a cost efficient and time efficient way for you to SELL SELL SELL SELL !

It is a genuine Business to Business marketplace platform that squarely kicks skills transfer and financial goals for every business owner and key industry stakeholder involved.

“The Expo is built around conversations and learning rather than swanky expensive exhibition stands - it is grass roots selling by local businesses in the community where they live and work.”

“The Gold Coast Small Business Expo will feature 200 small and medium businesses with local exhibitors from across South East Queensland.

LET US CELEBRATE - AS SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

There will be food trucks, live music to celebrate being small business owners - so join in the fun and do business at the same time. 

Including three speaker presentations from some of the Australia’s leading business experts.

We will also have an Information Hub and a Technology Hub proudly sponsored by R6 Digital and a Women in Biz Hub where you can grab the latest information from Government Agencies and check out the latest technology from our local companies.

Every attendee has a chance to WIN A HOLIDAY thanks to our Principal Partner BARTERCARD.

Expos are typically boring, disengaged events but we make ours fun – it is a real celebration that recognises the hard work that small business owners do every single day.

FOR EXHIBITORS.

Prior to the expo we also deliver ‘How To Sell From an Exhibition Stand Workshops to teach exhibitors how to successfully engage, collect solid leads and convert to sales and make money to feed their families. The workshops have been run before every expo for the past 4 years.

We also provide two food truck lunch vouchers on the day of the expo for all exhibitors.

We kicked some great goals with our recent Expos

OUTCOMES:  2017 LOGAN SMALL BUSINESS EXPO

OUTCOMES:  2018 BRISBANE SMALL BUSINESS EXPO 

The focus of the Expo is SELL SELL SELL to help business owners put food on the table of families.

The expos will also become Information Hubs where small business owners can get the latest information from funding grants, new legislation etc from three levels of Government – a pop up one day source of information.

Technology is so important in assisting small business owners to do business faster and more efficiently – so we will also have a Technology Hub that will showcase the latest in technologies, software and hardware available.

We will also look to have a home and lifestyle section as well – the majority of businesses are homebased and so it has been recognised as a second market for the Expo.

The goals for the Gold Coast Small Business Expo are:

Collaboration – with key industry stakeholders to work together to build the Expos through shared promotional actions – through this we reach 30,000 small business owners in each region– with a total reach across 5 expos to 150,000 small business owners.

Generate – to ensure each Expo grows to deliver $2 million in solid leads

Skills Transfer – to deliver pre expo workshops in ”How to sell from an exhibition stand” – generally 3 per Expo and an online option will be available too.

Charity – to promote 5 charities per Expo so they can build connections with the small business community and also fundraise

Promotion – to provide a pop up shop one day a year to primarily invisible businesses – homebased, micro, mobile and online and also to identify innovative products and services – new businesses to the media. To also invite all levels of Government to the official opening at each Level so they can engage with the small business community.

Inform – to provide attendees with an information Hub and a Technology Hub so small business owners can get the latest products and services from all levels of Government in a face to face format and undertake activities to ensure they are up to date with compliance, new funding, digital audits, new legislation

Celebration – B2B marketplaces have become annual events for the small business community to celebrate their hard work each year – we include a festive atmosphere with live music and foodtrucks so attendees can come along and network and grab a bite to eat.

Platform – to provide a platform for all small business owners to promote their goods and services from North Brisbane to Tweed businesses with little cost to do so. This is ideal for market research, competitor analysis, sales growth.
