About

Empowering Tablelands Businesses: Connect for Success is a Queensland Small Business Month networking event presented by the Malanda Chamber of Commerce. This practical and engaging event brings together small business owners from across the Atherton Tablelands to build valuable connections, share experiences, and gain insights from local business leaders. Attendees will develop practical skills, discover new opportunities for collaboration, and strengthen their capacity to grow resilient and successful businesses. This event supports the ongoing development of a strong, connected, and thriving Tablelands business community. We have engaged three professional facilitators to incorporate interactive elements that actively engage the audience and encourage networking.

The evening will be an interactive session designed to give local business owners practical takeaways. We’ll use a short set of questions and a live poll (Slido) to identify the key challenges in the room, then work through the top themes in a guided discussion with three speakers bringing different strengths. The format will be relaxed and engaging, with audience involvement throughout, and a focus on simple ideas people can apply in their business.

What attendees will walk away with:
• Clarity on the top challenges affecting local businesses right now (based on the live poll)
• Practical ideas and next steps from three different perspectives
• A chance to ask questions and get real-time input relevant to their situation
• Simple takeaways they can apply in their business
