THIS IS AN EVENT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS
BNI & SBA motivations for organizing this event

• We see the need to create a new platform that brings together commercial, non-commercial and government support organisations who support the small business sector in the Greater Perth Metropolitan Area.
• Connecting-Collaborating and Co-promoting is the driving focus of this approach because we know it works. The Connections Business Expo event is a “one-stop-shop’ format that is time and cost effective for everyone involved.
• Our simple goal is to support local small business owners to improve how they do business.
• We’re moving away from traditional silo support toward collaborative support because we know there are many trading SME’s that are not connected. It starts with knowledge sharing, knowing which organizations there are to help, understanding how they complement each other and making those first connections is the first important step to being connected.
