Growing Queensland Business Roadshow

Our exciting and revamped 2022 Growing Queensland Business Roadshow program gives you the opportunity to:

• connect with representatives from your local council and state government
• get practical tips and information about:
  • government tendering
  • 'greening' your business
  • the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Whether you're a government buyer or supplier, or you're looking to supply to government, this year's program allows you to choose your own journey and attendance approach.

You can choose to:

• 'drop into' sessions and hear from speakers covering a range of topics
• have government officers answer your questions at our engagement stations
• hear from local suppliers about their journey to become a government supplier
• learn about growing your business through international trade.
