Insights from the Queensland Small Business Expo Brisbane
Wendy Kent and Megan Hibbert from B&C Plastics attended the Queensland Small Business Expo in Brisbane, a full day of speakers, exhibitors and practical advice for growing businesses.
What the sessions covered
The speakers were excellent, with practical insights on:
Queensland Government procurement
Council and Olympic opportunities in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032
Tendering tips and contract delivery
AI for business
Financial management and business resilience
Tax and insurance
Opportunities for Queensland manufacturers
The sessions on the 2032 Olympics, government procurement and becoming more visible to government buyers stood out. There are big opportunities ahead for capable Queensland manufacturers and suppliers who position themselves well.
As a Logan-based plastics manufacturer, B&C Plastics is focused on being ready for those opportunities, with local production capability and reliable supply.
Real conversations with the people behind the programs
One of the highlights was talking directly with the people behind the organisations and programs that support business growth in Queensland. Those conversations and connections are worth a lot.
It was also good to see so much support available for businesses of every size that want to grow, change and think bigger.
Thank you to the organisers, presenters and exhibitors for a valuable day.
