Connect is Supply Nation’s annual flagship event for the Indigenous business sector.
The one-day event will bring together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and motivated buyers at the Indigenous Business Tradeshow and will celebrate the Supplier Diversity Award 2023 finalists and winners at the Gala Awards Dinner at the ICC Sydney on Gadigal Land on Tuesday 8 August 2023.
The theme for this year is ‘Empowering Indigenous futures‘ – acknowledging the significant political, social and economic changes that have led to greater outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise the influential First Nations leaders who have been at the forefront of these changes – paving the way for new generations and creating a prosperous future for Indigenous Australians.
We acknowledge that we are gathering on the lands of the Gadigal People, of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Elders, past and present.
