Purchase Ad space in our Business Leadership Development booklet

The team at Kinaway Chamber of Commerce are venturing to Kansas on the AUS to OZ Trade Mission with the largest delegation of First Nations businesses to ever depart Australia to America in the month of March. We understand that attending an international event of this kind may not always be feasible for all businesses, and we want to ensure that your business gets the recognition it deserves on the global stage.

As a testament to its significance, Kinaway plans to distribute over 4000 copies to key stakeholders throughout the visit to Kansas. This not only guarantees extensive exposure but also positions your business in the spotlight among industry leaders, potential collaborators, a diverse audience, and promises to elevate your business to new heights. This will foster international connections for First Nations businesses that prioritise Indigenous-to-Indigenous trade.

Despite not physically being on the leadership and development mission, this holistic approach ensures that your business not only gains exposure but also establishes meaningful connections, making it a strategic opportunity for growth and recognition within the Indigenous business community.

Benefits

  • Raising awareness of First Nations businesses on an international scale

  • Exposure of your business’ services to an audience with a wide range of demographic and geographic

  • Networking opportunities

  • Cost-effective marketing for your business – for the price of up to $1000 members can reach an audience that would generally incur a much higher cost or you would otherwise not have access to

  • Tangible advertising – unlike digital advertising which is often deleted and forgotten about, physical advertisements can be looked back on and

  • Exposure to Australian and American key stakeholders such as government officials, corporate partners, a range of chambers of commerce as well as fellow Indigenous businesses
