Small businesses sit at the heart of Australia’s economy and communities. Their success drives national productivity, job creation and local resilience, and the conversations that guide their future have never been more important.
The COSBOA Summit brings together association leaders, policy makers, government, regulators and business voices to focus on shared goals: boosting productivity, simplifying policy and strengthening tomorrow for small business.
Across two days, the Summit delivers clear insights, honest discussion and practical direction on the issues that matter most, from regulatory settings, tax and workforce challenges to competition, AI, cyber security, digital onboarding and the changing economic outlook.
