Swan Hill Rural City Council has partnered with Swan Hill Incorporated and the Robinvale Euston Business Association to deliver May Means Business, a month-long program designed to provide a dynamic platform for networking, learning and collaboration across the region.
Bringing together a packed calendar of workshops, events, networking opportunities and practical learning experiences, May Means Business will celebrate and support businesses at every stage.
From navigating migration in 2026 to mastering AI, leadership and cybersecurity, the program offers practical insights and future-focused knowledge to help local businesses grow and succeed.
A highlight of the month will be the BizNet After Dark networking event featuring special guest Kristina Karlsson, founder of kikki.K and Dream Life.
Hosted by Swan Hill Incorporated, the fireside chat will offer an honest and engaging conversation about building a global brand, navigating setbacks, managing uncertainty and finding the courage to start again.
Designed for local business owners, managers and emerging leaders, the event will provide practical insights on resilience, mindset and the habits that drive success, while also creating an opportunity for meaningful local business connections.
Mayor Cr Stuart King said the initiative highlighted the strength and ambition of the region's business community.
"May Means Business is about creating opportunities for our local businesses to connect, build capacity and share ideas.
"Whether you're starting out, expanding, or looking to future-proof your business, this program offers something valuable for everyone.
"The BizNet After Dark event with Kristina Karlsson is a fantastic example of the calibre of opportunities available through this program, bringing real-world business experience and inspiration directly to our region.
"By working together with Swan Hill Incorporated and the Robinvale Euston Business Association, we are creating a strong platform for innovation, collaboration and economic growth across our region," Cr King said.
The month-long celebration aims to strengthen the local business community by fostering conversations, connections and new opportunities.
Businesses, entrepreneurs and professionals from across the region are encouraged to get involved throughout May and take part in the events shaping the future of the local economy.
