B2BExpo 2016 will be presented on April 27-28 2016 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and June 1-2 2016 at the Sydney Hordern Pavilion.
This inaugural event is focused at the SME business sector and is an ideal forum for business owners and senior management to gauge the latest market trends and solutions from industry leaders. B2BExpo 2016 is organised by Australian Business Forum (ABF), a business platform that facilitates the growing and networking of SMEs across various industry sectors.
The SME sector plays a vital role in the Australian economy, representing a staggering 98 per cent of actively trading businesses. The Australian government has been fostering this sector through international treaties, including the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and China, Japan and Korea.
While the SME sector is a booming arena, these businesses are often under-resourced and time-poor. To help optimise their current resources, B2BExpo 2016 will provide an expansive opportunity to SMEs to connect with high profile entrepreneurs and business leaders to develop their business strategies.
The expo is supported by AusIndustry, Austrade, and the New South Wales and Victorian Governments. It is a one-stop-shop for the SME business sector from start-ups to corporate brand sponsors.
