The Central Highlands Development Corporation (CHDC) is excited to announce its 2025 Event and Workshop Series and the Local Buying Foundation is again proud to support this initiative under our category of Sponsorship of Business Awards, Conferences and Events.
The CHBEA Business Support initiative will assist in delivering workshops for Business Excellence Awards applicants, covering essential topics such as business planning, workplace culture, and leadership. The Working Lunches are designed to provide local businesses with valuable insights, networking opportunities, and resources. Each event features presentations from two industry professionals, followed by an engaging Q&A session. These lunches address key issues identified in the Central Highlands Business Survey, ensuring they are relevant and beneficial.
A Tourism-Focused Working Lunch will target 30 tourism operators, addressing industry-specific challenges and opportunities to help them thrive and finally, the CHBEA Event partnership will support the prestigious Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner, celebrating the achievements of local businesses.
These events are designed to benefit the 3,300+ businesses in the Central Highlands, spanning sectors such as resources, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, health, education, training and government. By participating, businesses gain access to valuable information, key contacts, capacity building, and direct development opportunities.
We look forward to supporting and following a successful year for the Central Highlands business community.
