The NSW Local Buying Foundation Advisory Committee and Trustees have approved funding to sponsor the NSW Indigenous Chamber of Commerce’s Summit 2024, under the Sponsorship of Business Awards, Conferences and Events funding category and as part of the LBF commitment to Indigenous Economic Development.

The Summit, previously known as the Indigenous Chamber Forum (ICF), is the premier annual event hosted by the NSWICC. Scheduled for November 11-12, 2024, at the scenic Wonnarua Country in the Hunter Valley, the Summit promises to be an unparalleled opportunity for government and industry leaders to engage with Indigenous businesses across various sectors, including infrastructure, construction, mining, and renewables.

Over the course of two days, the Summit will feature a dynamic Business Tradeshow, a Knowledge Forum with presentations from key industry experts, and culminate in the prestigious Summit Awards & Gala Dinner. Attendees will benefit from extensive networking opportunities, exposure to best practices in Indigenous procurement, and insights into successful case studies that highlight Indigenous business excellence.

Despite the growing number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses capable of serving diverse industries in NSW, spend with these suppliers has not reached its potential. The NSWICC aims to address this gap through the Summit by enhancing the capacity of both supply chains and procurement practices.
