Being held at Northam Town Hall, the Wheatbelt Business Network (WBN) has co-ordinated a full day of presentations and panels from industry experts, government officials and business leaders focusing on future growth opportunities across the Wheatbelt.
Topics of discussion include tourism, economics, housing, future business opportunities and marketing and trade.
Regional updates will be provided by Western Power, Telstra, NBN and the Wheatbelt Development Commission.
A parliamentary panel facilitated by Kitty Prodonivich, chief executive officer of the Regional Chambers of Commerce & Industry of WA, will include Member for the Agricultural Region, Deputy Leader of the WA Liberal Party Steve Martin, Member for Agricultural Region Darren West, Member for Central Wheatbelt Mia Davies and Federal Member for Durack Melissa Price.
