Australia’s must-attend event for anyone representing small business
Mark these dates in your diary to access and hear from politicians, regulators, senior policy makers, business influencers and association leaders who are shaping policy for small business in Australia.
The COSBOA Summit is your opportunity to make your voice heard, to influence the important policy issues for small business across workplace relations, compliance and regulation demands, jobs, training and skills, contract law and competition policy, energy costs, data insights and security and digital transformation.
Most of all we will hear the voice of small business people – find out about their experiences, how they are reviving, and what they need and demand from us to help them thrive in the future.
Let us learn, share, engage and represent our small business people with purpose!
