Your ticket to The Summit 2025 unlocks two days of exclusive events, hosted at the Rydges Resort, on beautiful Wonnarua Country in the Hunter Valley​
A Premier Venue for Transformation
Set at the esteemed Rydges Resort in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine region, The Summit provides an idyllic and accessible setting just a short drive from Sydney. This scenic venue offers delegates a relaxed and informal atmosphere where barriers are broken down and meaningful connections are forged. With a record of over 1,200 tickets sold in 2024, The Summit is poised for its most impactful year yet. Sponsors benefit from exceptional visibility, with unique signage opportunities throughout the resort that capture the attention of a diverse audience—including Indigenous businesses, government representatives, corporate leaders, and industry procurement teams.
Purpose
Despite a robust pipeline of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned businesses ready to serve a wide range of government and industry contracts in NSW, actual procurement spend remains below its potential. This gap exists because both sides of the supply chain often lack the capacity or capability to fully engage with one another, even as targeted procurement policies and RAPs are introduced by governments and the broader business community.
As the peak body and authoritative voice for Indigenous business in NSW, NSWICC has developed an innovative partnership program and service model designed to bridge these gaps. Our approach equips government and industry buying organisations with the tools they need to overcome barriers and unlock opportunities—be it to supply, employ, or invest in local capacity. The Summit is a cornerstone of this initiative, providing an essential platform for networking, trade opportunities, shared learnings, and leadership through real-world success stories.
In addition, the annual Summit 2025 Awards serve as a testament to our commitment, recognising outstanding achievements and innovations that drive growth and engagement within the vibrant Indigenous business community.
