The Geelong Small Business Festival has celebrated its 30,000th attendee since the annual event's inception 14 years ago.
This exciting milestone clicked over when Christopher Bogacki attended the 'Unleashing Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok for Social Media Success' by Video Vault at Wurriki Nyal, the home of the Geelong Small Business Festival.
Christopher has been presented with the Golden Ticket to the Geelong Small Business Festival, allowing him to attend as many remaining festival events of his choice for free (which are not sold out).
As part of being the 30,000th ticketholder, Christopher also received a three-month membership at any of our Swim Sport & Leisure venues, a double pass to The Carousel and a double pit pass to the Geelong Revival Motoring Festival. Christopher and four friends will also have the opportunity to tour the Meredith Dairy farm, a behind the scenes experience not available to the public, where he'll learn about the process to make their delicious goat's cheese, discover their sustainability practices and meet the farm animals.
Additionally, Christopher will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with our team on content highlighting Geelong's UNESCO City of Design status, in partnership with the National Wool Museum.
Presented by the City of Greater Geelong and the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, the Geelong Small Business Festival supports and inspires community members who are keen to start a business or grow and improve their existing business.
Ending this Friday 23 August, we have free and low-cost workshops, presentations and networking opportunities from business owners and subject matter experts. From business finance, understanding AI and harnessing local media to negotiating commercial leases, developing a business legal action plan or refining brand storytelling, there is something for everyone.
Avoid disappointment and book your tickets at gsbf.com.au.
