July Enterprise Evening 2024 - Toowoomba

Join us for our July Enterprise Evening on Tuesday 9 July in Toowoomba as we challenge businesses to prepare themselves to leverage off the opportunities that will be created around The Games.

It's time to move beyond the traditional notions of what we can gain from this global event, instead of focusing on what we have to offer the world. The Games aren't just about medals and glory they're an opportunity for us to showcase our region's strengths and capabilities on a global stage.

We are excited to announce Ray White Commercial Toowoomba, a cornerstone local enterprise, as a sponsor for this event. As well as RASQ Toowoomba Showgrounds, talking to the benefits of the development of the Toowoomba Equestrian Centre of Excellence for our region.

Join our panellists as they explore how businesses in regional Queensland can capitalise on the vast potential the 2032 Games will bring to our doorstep. Discover how to showcase our region globally through unique opportunities and non-sport pathways, ensuring your business is prepared for this landmark event.
