The two day summit is an initiative of the Tamworth Business Chamber, and offers a range of workshops and keynote addresses, including Ms Cook’s

Chamber president Jye Segboer has been impressed by ticket sales, claiming it is an exciting start to what will be an ongoing annual event.

“Joblink Plus have committed to partner the summit for at least three years which will allow us to grow with time,” he said.

“We have also recorded good strong numbers in the first year which is really encouraging.” 

Over 120 people will be attending both days, while 40 one day tickets were also sold.

While Ms Cook and Glasshouse Fragrance founder Nicole Eckels addresses look likely to be attended by almost all ticket holders, a few locally run workshops are also proving very popular.

‘Leader’s Coach’ Deb Maes Intrinsic workshop, focusing on workplace psychology and professional development, has proven the most popular session, while Flourish’s mental health workshop and Everingham Solomons’ employment law seminar have also recorded strong booking numbers.

“Most people are attending Nicole Cook’s address because there is a real interest in getting an update on exactly where employment is up to in NSW, and what the future of employment looks like,” Mr Segboer said.

“The workshops are looking very innovative and interesting as well.”
