After a year that tested the small-to-medium business community like never before, survival mode can finally be switched off. It’s time for small businesses to start looking to the future by gaining new tools, reconnecting and planning for growth.
Celebrate a return to ‘normal’ operations with two days of back-to-business events and seminars. The Small Business Connections Summit and 6th annual B2B Expo will take place concurrently at the Victory Room in the Marvel Stadium, Melbourne.
With over one hundred exhibitors and keynote speakers, Australia’s major business-to-business event welcomes back the country’s vibrant small business community to once again learn, engage and grow their businesses.
Attendance is free with online registration and guests can sign up for complimentary informative seminars concerning topics most critical to small-to-medium businesses. The SBC Summit and B2B Expo are the first live business events in Australia post Covid-19.

During the two-day B2B Expo guests have the opportunity to meet innovative exhibitors from all industry sectors, network with their peers, and forge new business opportunities.
The B2B Expo will also include daily informative talks during the Business Essentials Seminar Series. The series will be presented by renowned keynote speakers from government agencies, major financial institutions, cutting edge start-ups and leading entrepreneurs.
Hosted by News Xtend, each seminar topic is unique and hand-picked to provide small business owners and stakeholders solutions for a range of challenges, including digital and social media marketing, harnessing the power of digitalisation and building resilience.
All guests are welcome to explore the exhibitor expo, which is open to the public, and network during the Mix at Six cocktail hour. The Victorian government’s recent further lifting of restrictions means this event can be at full capacity. The highest Covid-19 hygiene and safety precautions will be in-place to protect all guests.
