Brisbane City Council, with Growth Education Institute, is facilitating a series of free expert panellist discussions with the leaders of iconic Brisbane brands, to complement the Lord Mayor's Business Excellence Workshops.

There's no one size fits all secret formula to business success, but we can learn from those who've been there before and grown their business from start up to success story.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with our live panel and learn from their experiences - the successes and the failures - business owners who have tried and tested the processes taught in the Lord Mayor's Business Excellence Workshops. What better way to learn than hearing from those who have been there, done that! There will also be an opportunity to ask the panel any questions you may have and to network with other business owners.

The Business Excellence: In Conversation events are an excellent opportunity to engage with an expert panel of Brisbane business owners and grow your network.
