Event Description:

The Challenges Business Faces

In this session, we examine challenges some businesses are facing and examine to how, as a business community, we can support each other.

Recent research by PWC's 28th Annual Survey (Australian Insights) says very clearly that Australian CEO's are "beginning to recognise the size and urgency of the re-invention imperative...a stark choice to disrupt or be disrupted". Not exclusively, but some of the key challenges revolve around business viability, sustainability, strategic decision making and the role of AI.

The panel will provide their thoughts with time for questions to follow.

Hear from a local Wine producer Cassegrain Wines

    

Cassegrain Wines is based is the Hastings River region, just outside Port Macquarie. Its traditions and expertise is based on a family winemaking legacy that dates back to 1643! Cassegrain"s first vines were planted by John Cassegrain which was the first plantings in the region for over 60 years. This region was officially recognised as a Wine Region by an Australian Geographic Indication in 1999 - with roughly 200 hectares of planted vineyards across six wineries.
  • While many of us enjoy a glass of wine, the business of wine making can be a tough business
  • Learn about their journey while tasting some of their local wines matched with a tasting of matched cheeses!
It will be short, sharp and to the point.
