Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack will be keynote speaker at a Business Horsham ‘Business Reimagined’ event on Tuesday.

Mr McCormack is one of several speakers at the event at Horsham’s Maydale Reserve from 9am to noon.

Business Horsham is running a series of events to encourage small business to ‘think outside the square and move towards a new ‘COVID norm’ after receiving State Government money through a Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions Business Chamber and Trader’s Group funding round.

Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the event provided an opportunity to showcase Horsham and the region.

She said it would also provide Business Horsham members and businesses a chance to hear about what the Federal Government was doing to encourage a ‘tree change’ population shift and how this would impact on regional business communities.

“We also have State Government Small Business Ministerial Council chair Stuart Benjamin who will be discussing life after JobKeeper from a small business perspective,” she said.

“There will also be Grampians Tourism chief executive Marc Sleeman and Horsham Agricultural Society’s Andrea Cross to highlight the importance and impact of tourism and events on small business.

“This event is designed to provide business owners with information and guidance to allow for future planning. 

“How businesses approach life after Jobkeeper, and how they incorporate tourism and local events into their planning, is essential for future growth.

“Business Horsham dedicates its time to developing programs and events with tangible outcomes. This major event is one which we hope will not only see business owners walk away with food for thought, but also after having an amazing experience.”

Ms Taig said people seeking more information about the event, which is free of charge, can visit website www.businesshorsham.com.au or email ambassador@businesshorsham.com.au.
