Tasmanian Small Business Expo
Stakeholder Summit, from 2:30 pm
North West Coast|Â Monday March 16, Market Square Pavilion Devonport
Launceston | Tuesday March 17, Du Cane Brewing Hall
Hobart | Thursday March 19, Hobart City Hall
A focused conversation for those shaping Tasmania’s small business ecosystem.
This is not just an expo or networking event. It is a purposeful working session designed to strengthen alignment across the small business ecosystem.
Why the Stakeholder Summit exists
Small business support in Tasmania is rich, but often fragmented. The Stakeholder Summit brings together those closest to policy, programs, funding, services, and delivery to:
- Share insight on what is working and where gaps remain
- Build stronger alignment across regions and portfolios
- Inform how future support, collaboration, and engagement is shaped
- Ensure small business needs are reflected in decision‑making
The intent is practical: better coordination, clearer pathways, and stronger outcomes for Tasmanian small businesses.
