experts from Adloyalty, PulseHR, Telstra, BEC, AusIndustry and Regional
Development Australia.

across the Central West such as manufacturing, mining, construction, health
& education.” Everyone embraced the opportunity and really enjoyed the
day.” Event Coordinator, Dannielle Jenkins said.
Key topics & business issues that were discussed
included Digital Marketing & Business Tools, HR, Finance & Investment
& Business Planning.
AusIndustry also took the opportunity to discuss their
funding opportunities for businesses in key industry growth sectors across the
Central West as a part of the Entrepreneurs Infrastructure Programme.
“There is funding
available for certain industry groups within the Central West, which is very
exciting for regional growth & development. Please visit business.gov.au

key services available to take business to the next level. Exhibitors included
Adloyalty, PulseHR, Skillset, AusIndustry, Telstra, Australian Institute of
Company Directors, Phocas Software, Prime7, Adbox, Yates Baker Mclean and Xero.
This also provided businesses with an opportunity to network and see what else
is out there to help achieve growth & success.
“Networking is such a
vital part of doing business in Regional NSW, and allows you to be exposed to
greater opportunities for growth. We have seen an incline in business
networking groups such as Renweld and the Orange Young Professionals, both of
who had representatives attend on the day.” Dannielle continued to say.

which has reinforced the need to host an annual event.
