Growth Potential
2025 Annual Business Conference
18–20 September 2025 | Crowne Plaza Terrigal Pacific
Since 2019 we have been annually hosting an opportunity to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a highly engaging 1.5-day business educational and networking experience like no other.
Engage with a large number of like-minded business owners and senior leaders in a very unique way, gain genuine actionable insights from world class speakers, rejuvenate and ignite your ambition for growth, all in a stunning beachside setting.
It can't be underestimated the value in stepping back at least once a year, learning from others who have been where you are, and resetting where you are heading with your business. All while letting your hair down, and having a bit of fun!
SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS ALSO NOW AVAILABLE!
Who should attend?
- Business Owner or a Senior Leader in a business... that believes in learning from others,
- values business relationships and having a wider network...
selling rubbish courses or magic potions. - Just world-class speakers & business education, networking, casual gala dinner, drinks, golf, health spa, live band, and a bit of fun.

What is the GP Conference Experience?

Thursday 18 September
Welcome Drinks & Nibbles at Terrigal Beach House
This is great opportunity to relax, meet a lot of new people in business, catch up with familiar faces, share stories, and build some new business relationships... before the big day on Friday. Attending is not mandatory, but an additional opportunity and event for those that want to come along.
As a cheeky call out to some of last years attendees, its recommended to pace yourself at this event as fun as it is, to ensure you get the most out of the full action packed day of education & networking on Friday without a sore head. You know who you are... :)

Friday 19 September
- Conference at Henry Kendall Ballroom (7 sessions)
- Exhibition booths and networking
- Working lunch near sponsor stalls
- Evening Dinner Event with Live Band

Saturday 20 September Optional add-on for the golfers
- 9 or 18 holes of Golf at an undisclosed Golf Course near the venue. To be revealed in the coming weeks.
- No better way to build new business relationships and friendships, than playing some very average golf, sledging others, and being laughed at as you hit it into the trees.
- Details coming soon.
