One of the things we loved about Business Unpacked was seeing local businesses make time for each other. Over two days at Galkangu, as part of this year’s Business Unboxed festival, people stepped away from their own businesses to share what they’ve learnt and hear how others do things.
There was plenty to talk about. The program covered everything from using AI for everyday tasks to building a business plan you’ll actually use and making your business more welcoming to neurodivergent customers and staff.
Between sessions, people stopped by the pop-up booths, caught up with familiar faces and met some of the people behind businesses they’d heard of around town. It was a chance to ask another business owner how they’d handled something you’re working through yourself, or find out more about a local business you’ve always been curious about.
A big thank you to everyone who presented, ran a workshop, set up a booth or came along. Thank you to the City of Greater Bendigo for hosting us at Galkangu and to AJ Taylor for capturing both days.
There was plenty more happening across Business Unboxed. Catch up on Be.Bendigo in the Burra, our keynote breakfast with Evan Lucas and October After 5 at La Trobe University.
