About this event

*All start-ups and small to medium business owners are welcome to attend. The event is free for members and non-members, with registration required.
 
Tech SME Business Workshop: Growth and Partnerships is a practical ACS Canberra workshop for technology SME owners, founders and leaders. Built from feedback from the first ACS SME event, the session moves into a business-growth workshop, structured peer discussion and networking.
  • Practical partnership opportunities across SMEs, ACS PPPs, larger technology companies, government/enterprise buyers from the local ecosystem.
  • Opportunity to discuss and workshop real-life business challenges with other business leaders.
  • Leave with targeted connections and next steps for growth, capability uplift and market access.
  • Good networks don’t just expand your contact list, they change how you think, decide, and grow.
Who should be attending?
Cohort: Technology business owners, founders and senior leaders, including existing Professional Partner Program (PPP) and potential new organisations.

Why should I attend?
  • Gives SME leaders a practical structure to clarify growth priorities, client/partner targets and capability gaps. 
  • Creates useful peer and ecosystem connections rather than passive attendance.
  • Demonstrates tangible ACS value through professional networks, capability development, PPP engagement, mentoring, talent pathways and trusted industry connection.
👉 If peer connection matters to you, start showing up to the right rooms.
