Across 2025 and 2026, the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce is rolling out an exciting calendar of events designed to connect local businesses and spark new opportunities, and the Local Buying Foundation is proud to be part of it. These events go beyond networking; they provide practical insights and create spaces for collaboration that strengthen the regional economy.
One highlight was the Small Business Month Celebration Lunch, which brought together business owners and community leaders to recognise Queensland Small Business Month. The programme focused on resilience, innovation and collaboration, giving attendees actionable ideas to navigate change. As a Silver Sponsor, LBF demonstrated its commitment to supporting small businesses and fostering meaningful connections.
Another standout was the Eggonomics New Financial Year Celebration, offering fresh perspectives on economic trends and business planning. Participants explored strategies for sustainable growth and enjoyed valuable networking in a relaxed setting. These initiatives reflect LBF’s intent to enhance capability and confidence, ensuring regional businesses are equipped to thrive.
