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.
Real words from past Summits in Gosford and Hornsby Shire.
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 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.
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.
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!
We held a Suburban Business Summit in Hornsby Shire towards the back end of 2025 and what a great success. It provided real solutions and real stories for businesses, and showed how they can implement these into their own operations.
It stands out for how professionally well run it is and the quality of the people involved. What a terrific difference it made to economic development, particularly for regional activities.
