After the success of the last two years, exhibitors were invited to display their products and services in this exciting annual business event in Blacktown. 

Once again the feature of a Community Display area was added to the last aisle where local charities and not-for-profit organisations could showcase their goods and services to the local business community.  We received tremendous praise from both our visitors and exhibitors for these community related stands and the for the wonderful staff that manned them, many of them volunteers.

Hospitality students from a local High School were given the opportunity to practise and show their skills in our Expo Coffee Shop supplying coffee to exhibitors and visitors - a great asset to the expo!

We would like to thank the host and gold sponsor Blacktown City Council and our other gold sponsors Breed and Lander Toyota for their support to make this event and the networking function cocktail party such a success.

This expo would not be possible without the assistance of the local business groups the Cumberland Business Chamber that helped to bring this great event together.  We are also extremely grateful to our Alliance Partners - Awards & More,  GWP Business Resource & Lifestyle Magazine, Inflatable Event Company, Wave AV and X Designs.     

The event concluded with a networking cocktail function where delicious canapes were served with refreshing drinks.  Prizes from entering the Passport Promotion were awarded as well as the much coveted "Best Stand" and "Best Rookie Stand" plaques.

Best Stand for 2009 was won by Motographics and Best Rookie Stand for 2009 was awarded to AMF Bowling Blacktown.
