Connect 2024

We acknowledge that we will be gathering on the lands of the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin and pay our respects to Elders past and present. 

Supply Nation’s annual flagship event Connect is back for 2024. The event brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, corporate organisations, and government departments to foster strategic opportunities and celebrate the success, and calibre of the Indigenous Business sector.  

Held across two days, the Knowledge Forum and Networking drinks will take place on Wednesday 28 August, followed by the Indigenous Business Tradeshow and Gala Awards Dinner celebrating the Supplier Diversity Award finalists and winners on Thursday 29 August. 

The official theme for Connect 2024 is ‘Legacy’. As Supply Nation celebrates 15 years, we reflect on the determination and courage of Indigenous entrepreneurs, leaders, our founding members, and suppliers, and honour their enduring legacy. We owe it to the formidable Elders, and to those that have stood before us, to maintain this momentum and continue to build a prosperous future for all.
