Leader of the Nationals Michael McCormack will headline a star-studded panel of speakers at the 'Business Reimagined Series' event on Tuesday, May 18, at the Horsham Showgrounds from 9am-12pm.

Business Horsham, received funding from the Victorian government's Department of Jobs, Precincts & Regions 'Business Chamber & Trader's Group' round, to help small businesses think outside the square and move towards the new 'COVID norm'.

Business Horsham ambassador Stacey Taig said the organisation is exciting to bring the Deputy PM to the region.

"For us this event is an incredible opportunity to showcase our city and region, and for our members and local businesses to hear about what the government is doing to encourage the 'tree change' movement, and how this will impact regional business communities," she said.

"We also have Stuart Benjamin, Chair of the state government's Small Business Ministerial Council, who will be discussing life after JobKeeper from a small business perspective."

In addition, speakers Marc Sleeman, Grampians Tourism chief executive, and Horsham Agricultural Society's Andrea Cross, will highlight the importance and true impact of tourism and events on small business.

"This event is designed to provide business owners with information and guidance to allow for future planning," Ms Taig said.

"How businesses approach life after Jobkeeper, and how they incorporate tourism and local events into their planning, is essential for future growth

"Business Horsham dedicate their time to developing programs and events with tangible outcomes, and this major event is one which we hope will not only see business owners walk away with food for thought, but also leave after having an amazing experience.

"We are working with the Horsham Agricultural Society to create an event with a difference, and one which won't be forgotten anytime soon."
