Reconnecting in 2022
Connect is Supply Nation’s annual flagship event for the Indigenous business sector held in May each year. The event brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, corporate organisations and government departments to foster new business opportunities and celebrate the success of the sector.
All industries have been forced to navigate the challenges associated with the pandemic, however as restrictions ease, we are delighted to host our first ‘in-person’ Connect event since 2019.
This year, we are transforming the format of Connect into a one-day event focused on networking opportunities and showcasing the calibre of diverse Indigenous businesses on Wednesday 25 May 2022 at the International Convention Centre, Sydney.
The official theme for Connect 2022 is ‘Reconnecting’ – and we are proud to host a national event to foster connections in a face-to-face environment at the Indigenous Business Tradeshow and the Gala Awards Dinner.
We acknowledge that we will be gathering on the land of the Gadigal People, of the Eora Nation, and we pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.

Connect 2022 overview
Connect 2022 artwork
Supply Nation is proud to have collaborated with Kevin Wilson, a Wongi man from the Goldfields region in WA and creative director at Nani Creative.
Kevin shares the story behind the artwork for Connect 2022:
“As Aboriginal people, we read the land and listen to nature. Today, we bring that knowledge and ways of thinking into all aspects of what we do. Using this awareness and connection to the space around us, we push forward to create new opportunities for our mob to learn, grow, build ourselves and our community up.
This design explores the theme of connection. The pattern work represents our culture, fluid and flowing like the waterways. On top, the larger shapes represent that energy we are using to push forward, leading to and circling the meeting places we yarn and share our knowledge.”
