It is over 6 months now since what was going to be a fantastic Long Lunch event on the Broadwater Parklands was blown away by a freak storm cell before most of the guests arrived. This was the Chamber’s first in-person event since Covid-19. It was a chance to connect and network with the people that would have been your fellow guests at the Long Lunch and develop new business relationships with attendees

Federal MPs at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre included Moncrieff MP and taskforce chair Angie Bell, Government Services Minister Stuart Robert & Industry. A breakfast program with speakers, attended by about 120 people, was followed by Key Pillar Industry sessions & brief presentations from figureheads and Mayor Tom Tate.

As we commenced our fabulous Long Lunch the rain started, as much as we were thrilled to receive the much needed rain, the force and ferocity of the storm was horrendous, we thank everyone for the kind thoughts and messages and share our photo album from Friday.

We also had three amazing businesses supporting this event as sponsors. They were MBA Partnership, Eximm Group and Study Gold Coast. Once again we thank everyone for their understanding.

Another fabulous evening of networking pre-Christmas season, with sweeping views across the Broadwater, our guests enjoyed a drink on arrival and the finest Italian canapes throughout the evening.

This was a great opportunity for our members to ask any questions of the Deputy Prime Minister who is also Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development. His speech was entertaining and he was very obliging in taking any questions from the floor.
