Start your day with connections that count—free for non‑members this month.
Join Highfields product and service-based businesses for a focused, friendly morning of networking. Quick warm intros, a practical format (no awkwardness), and a short guest speaker to spark ideas before your workday begins.
Guest speaker: Wendy – Bush Christmas Exhibition Wendy’s business journey began on her family’s sheep and wool property in Western Queensland, blending property management with entrepreneurial ventures. After senior leadership with a state‑wide organisation, she launched multiple businesses from 2014: agricultural project management, event management, and a product development start‑up. In 2022, she purchased the Bush Christmas Exhibition—now in its 29th year—a curated showcase of artistry, fine food, and thoughtful gifts, all elegantly handmade and celebrating the creativity of the bush. Wendy will share lessons on building regional brands, elevating makers, and turning community into commercial momentum.
