In August this year, the Darwin Major Business Group Incorporated (DMBG) and the Northern Territory Government will lead a 'Facing North' delegation to Canberra, representing the Territory's interests.
Following a three year hiatus during the pandemic, the event will be attended by Federal Parliamentarians, Commonwealth, Territory and local government, corporate and industry influencers.
The event will be held on Wednesday 2 August 2023 in Parliament House, Canberra.
The event will feature a full day forum including facilitated panel discussions and presentations highlighting the Territory's strategic, economic, commercial and cultural capacity.
The forum will be followed by a formal reception and exhibition in the Great Hall in Parliament House and will allow Territory businesses to network and showcase their organisation to interstate corporate, government and industry influencers.
Expressions of interest are now open for Territory business interested in participating or becoming an exhibitor.
Facing North 2023 is the fourth bi-partisan program, jointly delivered by the Darwin Major Business Group Incorporated and Northern Territory Government.
