Tell us a little bit about the summit?
The Small Business Summit & Expo 2011 aims to bring together designers, small business owners, employees, business experts and stylists to discuss the latest in business strategies in a not-to-be-missed day of practical business building and ideas exchange.
Some of Australia's best corporate and motivational speakers who have built their businesses from the ground up will be providing us with insight, invaluable information, intellectual stimulation and many “light bulb” moments. Attendees will enjoy the opportunity to learn important information about retailing, merchandising, customer service, Social Media, IP and marketing, as well as attending our Small Business Expo.
Why did you start the summit?
We had the idea for the summit after realising we spend a lot of our time answering questions on "how and why" from designers and other small businesses. We have a small group of friends that have expertise in e areas and we identified that there was a great need for s a small business summit particularly aimed at designers and craftspeople. The summit will be an annual event that we will grow each year. One of the key areas that is becoming very important to designers is IP, Intellectual Property, the summit will end with a panel discussion on IP.
What is the favourite part about running the summit?
Gathering all the fabulous people together that have helped me over the years and being able to present them at the one event. Knowing that if you have a small business or are thinking of starting one then this event will help you. Our keynote speaker, Debra Templar, is amazing. Debra will deliver all the how and why of great customers service and merchandising.
Why do you love helping small businesses?
Handmade Canberra itself is a small business and along the way I have had so many people that have helped me. Owning a small business can be very challenging but really rewarding. I love that we may be helping other small businesses reach their goal of running a successful small business.

Cars and bikes are pretty complicated machineries. When things go wrong with cars or bikes, you will find it difficult if you don’t have enough knowledge on car and bike engines..Bikes Canberra
