Do you have the tenacity to get through your business woes? Hear Peter Beck, CEO of Rocket Lab, Roanne Parker, founder Hire-a-hubby share their stories at the 3^rd NZ Small Business Summit.

Third New Zealand Small Business Summit - Waipuna Conference Centre, Auckland, 10 September 2010 Register now www.smallbusinesssummit.co.nz

At last year’s Summit the Minister for Small Business, Hon. Maurice Williamson said, “What part of NO don’t you understand? You just need to get on with it!” And we did. The SMEs continue to get on with it, and with a positive outlook and an action plan, we will thrive and help the country to grow. Did you know that SMEs make up 96 percent of the NZ economy?

Many government policies have changed since last year and most of these impact on SMEs. Don’t miss your opportunity to join in the political debate and question the politicians and business leaders at this year’s Small Business Summit.

Our keynotes this year, Roanne Parker, founder Hireahubby, and Peter Beck, New Zealand’s own ‘rocket man’, will share their stories.

The afternoon session – this is for you! Breakout sessions provide an opportunity to discuss your challenges and brainstorm with like-minded people. Get inspired and motivated to learn and implement practical solutions to help make your management more effective and you business more profitable.

This year again, every delegate goes into the draw to win one of two trips to Australia flying Pacific Blue. I look forward to seeing you there.

Take care, have fun
