Young Entrepreneurs Summit MC announced

Published on 17 February 2022

Host of Australia’s fastest growing news podcast and former Mudgee boy, Tom Tilley will return to the region next month as MC of the third annual Central West Young Entrepreneurs Summit.

Born and bred in the Mudgee Region, Tilley was host of Triple J’s Hack program for over a decade, and has become one of Australia’s leading voices in current affairs for young people with his hugely successful news podcast The Briefing.

“I’d come to Mudgee for the opening of an envelope so I’m stoked to be back in the home town hosting the Young Entrepreneurs Summit,” Tilley said.

“There’s never been a better time to build a business from a beautiful country town like Mudgee, you can get the great lifestyle whilst still accessing national and international markets. So I can’t wait to meet the young entrepreneurs trying to build their dreams from the Central West.”

Tilley will MC the 17 March event that brings together some of Australia’s most successful young business people to share their experiences and advice.

The speaker lineup includes The Block favourites and professional renovators Kyal and Kara, co-creator of one of Australia’s biggest swimwear brands Budgy Smuggler, Adam Linforth, CEO and founder of Australia’s largest eco store Flora & Fauna, Julie Mathers, founding partner of bespoke food tour company Straight To The Source, Tawnya Bahr and co-founder of Knafeh/The Bearded Bakers, Ameer El-Issa.

Held at Parklands Resort Mudgee, the event includes a full day of speakers followed by a networking event in the evening where attendees will have the chance to connect with others. Cost of the ticket also includes a complimentary breakfast at Our Chow the following morning where attendees can workshop real ideas and problems with some of the previous day’s special guests.

Hosted in conjunction with Small Business Month, this event is made possible through funding provided by the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities and Regional NSW Business Event Development funds. Tickets at 123tix.com.au
