Hinchinbrook Vibes Industry Brunch This Sunday

May 20, 2025

Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, industry & Tourism has again this year been successful in a Queensland Government grant to host an event to celebrate Queensland Small Business Month. This year Chamber has decided to host a Brunch, to be held at JK’s Deli and will be held on Sunday 25th may, commencing at 9:30am.

Chamber recognises the business community has already encountered some very significant personal and business challenges this year, following the wet season events. For many owners, the pathway to finalising the required repairs in both their homes and their business premises, are far from complete. This ongoing uncertainty is impacting on all facets of daily life and Chamber wants to reassure those impacted, that they are not going through this alone, there is support available and some of those opportunities will be discussed at this brunch.

Recognising that the community is still progressing through the recovery journey, this year’s event – Hinchinbrook Vibes - will be a little less traditional in theme and format than previous events, it will have a more relaxed style including networking and a chance to share experiences. A panel of guest speakers will provide some insights and there will be some amazing prizes to be won for your business.

One of the ever-evolving tools of modern business is vibrant and engaging social media presence. Trending content and the importance of effective advertising will be some of the discussion topics that Jacqui from Grow Social Co. will share. There are some very exciting prize packages that have been developed especially for this event that those attending will have the opportunity to win.

Chamber welcomes all business owners to this free event, however registration is essential for catering purposes. Bookings can be made by following the QR code or search 'Hinchinbrook Vibes' in Eventbrite, and book yourself in today!
