About this Event
How does your organization move from transactional supplier diversity to authentic, culturally grounded partnership?
This Indigenous Business Month, join corporate leaders, procurement specialists, and team managers at Birrunga Gallery in Meanjin (Brisbane) for an immersive morning designed to deepen your understanding of First Nations business, culture, and creative enterprise.
Under the 2026 theme Local and Connected, this Walking Breakfast provides a direct bridge between corporate decision-makers and First Nations artists from the Cultural Creative Development Program (CCDP).
What to Expect

Guided Gallery Walk: Move through Birrunga Gallery guided directly by CCDP artists as they share their works, cultural connections, and commercial pathways.
Cultural Business Insights: Learn how relational engagement—grounded in place, trust, and shared knowledge—builds sustainable economic capability and stronger supply chains.
