About Suburban Business Summit

Suburban Business Summit (SUB) is a series of one-day events for local business owners, professionals, and community leaders who believe that strong local businesses build strong communities. It has recently been held in Hornsby and the Central Coast, with upcoming 2026 events planned for the Northern Beaches, Illawarra, and a return to Hornsby.

We bring “big conference” ideas, speakers, and connections into suburban and regional areas, close to where you live and work. Our first Summit showed there’s real demand for practical, no‑hype learning and genuine local connections.

We continue to grow into a series of local events across Australia, each with its own community flavour but the same goal: helping local businesses grow, collaborate, and lead. You’ll find people from trades, charities, finance, professional services, health, retail, hospitality, education, and more.

At each SUB Summit you can expect:

  • Simple, practical ideas you can use straight away

  • Real conversations and relationships that last beyond the day

  • A focus on how suburban businesses power Australia’s economy and communities

SUB is where local ambition meets practical support. Backing business. Driving success.

Testimonials

Recently the Central Coast Small Business Networking Group (SBNG) participated in the Suburban Business Summit in Gosford.  What an awesome day!  Many local business owners attended, giving us a fantastic opportunity to connect, share what SBNG is all about, and highlight the real value our community offers.  The response was overwhelmingly positive, with plenty of great conversations and new connections made. 

 

The Summit also had a variety of excellent speakers and discussion panels throughout the day, providing us with new ideas and perspectives on business and the Central Coast region.

 

It was a very positive day for us, and we’re already looking forward to this event next year.

Bill Murch

President, SBNG

The Gosford suburban summit was a surprising day of great information & networking.  With a wide range of local business and charities, it provided a real chance to see where others see the opportunities in the Gosford region lie and to share the challenges they have experienced, learn about their journey so far and hear about the aspirations they see ahead.  A great selection of inspiring speakers, well hosted Q&A sessions  and well supported event.

I would definitely recommend going next year. If you are a small business, sole trader or thinking of starting up, this is a great opportunity to get a feel for the local opportunities that await !
