The Pivot City Geelong Business Expo 2018
I know you have probably seen dribs and drabs about some “expo thing” that I am running this month, and I think I need to clarify what we are doing, why we are doing and why it is really important that you tune in.
The Geelong Business Expo is sponsored by Pivot City Innovation District, Greater City of Geelong and Geelong Insurance Brokers, to name a few.
We are opening for the local Government’s Small Business Expo for the month of August and have over 100 businesses exhibiting within the event. All are local Geelong businesses who are putting themselves out there and following their passion.
Within the expo we are also hosting a Food & Wine Enclosure sponsored by Elderberry Event Hire and Mt Duneed Estate. In the enclosure we have Mt Duneed Estate, Terindah Estate, Provenance Wines, Boutique Event Co Cocktail Bar, Pops Australia and EcoPlonk. The Inn Hotel have the party in their hands hosting the DJ set and selling delicious burgers, Mexican Republic to tantalise your inner salsa girl and Okami Japanese for all your fresh sushi cravings. Denny’s restaurant is also giving away 50 bottles of French Champagne to celebrate their new chef and menu!
One of my proudest elements of the event is the genU Fashion Show – Modelling Diversity. We have partnered with the amazing team at genU to bring you a fashion show like no other, showcasing real beauty down our runway whilst supporting local designers and boutiques. We have models of all colours, sizes, ages, backgrounds and disabilities. We have models that are different; some in ways you can see, and others in ways you can’t - from those in wheelchairs to those with autism. Even the hair and make up is being done by the students from the Gordon who are studying, giving them their first big gig and real, hands on experience towards their qualification. We have Daryl from Bay 93.9 as MC and Kim Cooper from Aus Idol performing right on the runway. Bring your big heart along to watch a show like now other.
We have Networking Lounges, Wellness Arena, Marketplace, Food & Coffee Stations and so much more! The event is free to enter, but we encourage you to make a donation to our lovely friends at Vinnie’s as you come in. We are continuing our campaign to raise money towards the #ceosleepoutau#povertyhometruths to address the alarming rise in poverty and homelessness here in Geelong
If you are free next Saturday 28th July between 10am – 4pm, please come and see us at Federal Mills Park, North Geelong for the Pivot City Geelong Business Expo!
Lots of Love,
