Somewhere in your business right now, you're probably paying for waste you haven't spotted yet.
Session three of our Lunch & Learn Online Series is built to fix exactly that.

Dirk van der Lee from Business Chamber Queensland walks Moreton Bay business owners through the ecoBiz Circular Economy module: where you're losing money through wasted resources, how to reduce and reuse for more value, and how to turn your results into evidence for bigger contracts and supply chains.

Wednesday 16 September, 12-1pm via Zoom.
Free for members, $15 for non-members.

Proudly supported by the City of Moreton Bay.

What are you doing on the 9th of September?

If you're a small business owner, you should be in this room.

You may be thinking that cybercrime happens to someone else.

Until an invoice is redirected.
Until a staff member clicks the wrong email.
Until customer data is exposed.

Small businesses are being targeted more than ever. They have valuable data, real money and fewer protections. AI is raising the stakes on both sides as it can be your biggest opportunity or your biggest risk.

Join CyberGuru and the Pine Rivers Chamber of Commerce, with experts from Microsoft and Kaseya, for a practical, no-jargon session on what to watch out for and how to stay ahead of it.

100% of entry proceeds go to charity, supporting The Youth Development Foundation Limited and Chameleon Youth Housing.

Since 2014, YDF has supported over 8,000 young Queenslanders — helping almost 3,000 into employment and 500 back into education or further study.

Their support covers everything from accredited training, job readiness, and workplace traineeships, through to resume and interview prep, mentoring, and NDIS support — all designed to meet young people where they are and help them take their next step.

They also work closely with local employers, training organisations, and community services to create genuine pathways and opportunities for young people within the local community.

On the 9th of September, we are hosting our Future Ready: AI, Cyber Security & the Modern Business Forum, proudly sponsored by the team at CyberGuru.

Our business community is coming together to get across everything AI and cybersecurity mean for the modern business and every ticket makes a difference, with proceeds split between YDF and Chameleon Housing, supporting young people right here in our own community.

Learning for your business. Opportunity for our young people.

Make sure you are in the room!

CyberGuru and the Pine Rivers Chamber of Commerce are bringing together experts for a practical, no-jargon event designed specifically for small business owners.

Most small business owners think cybercrime happens to someone else.

Until an invoice is redirected.
Until a staff member clicks the wrong email.
Until customer data is exposed.
Until a competitor starts using AI more effectively than they are.

The reality is that small businesses are increasingly being targeted because they often have valuable data, money and customer trust, but fewer protections in place.

At the same time, AI is creating both massive opportunities and new risks for every business owner.

At this session you'll discover:
✅ The most common cyber risks affecting small businesses right now
✅ The simple actions that dramatically reduce your chances of becoming a victim
✅ How AI can save time, improve productivity and help your business grow
✅ The hidden risks of AI that most business owners don't know about
✅ What successful businesses are doing differently in 2026
✅ Answers to your questions from industry experts during a live Q&A session

Ooooooft. A $56,600.00 email that could have been avoided.

How?

➡ Changes to payment details? A phone call to a known number, every time.
➡ MFA on email.
➡ A team that's seen this trick before it lands in their inbox.

None of these are expensive steps but the cost of not having them? Let's just say it's all of your yearly coffee budget... for a really long time.

Be in the room with the experts. Bring your questions. Have them answered.

🏅 What a morning! Brisbane 2032 Ready! 🏅

What an incredible morning at the Pine Rivers Chamber of Commerce Brisbane 2032 Ready: Procurement Pathways for Small Businesses & Social Enterprises Breakfast Forum!

There was so much energy, curiosity and genuine conversation in the room as we explored what Brisbane 2032 and the major infrastructure opportunities ahead could mean for our local business community.

A huge thank you to our incredible panel:

🌟 Dominique Lamb – Director of Community Affairs for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games
🌟 Abhiney (Abhi) Arora – Executive Director, ICN Queensland
🌟 Peter Barker – Procurement Integrity

And a very big thank you to our fantastic panel host, Sarah Woolmington, for guiding the conversation and asking the questions our business community wanted answered.

We also want to give a massive shout-out to Monika Kulshrestha from Deals Colony. Not only was Monika our event sponsor, she was the powerhouse behind the scenes coordinating this event — and she did an absolutely outstanding job! 👏

Monika, thank you for your passion, your organisation, your commitment and for making this event happen. We are so lucky to have you as part of the Pine Rivers Chamber Committee. 💛

The biggest takeaway from this morning?

You don’t have to be a big business to start preparing for big opportunities.

Whether you’re a small business, social enterprise, sole trader or growing organisation, there are steps you can take now to understand procurement, strengthen your capability, build relationships and position yourself for the future.

Brisbane 2032 is coming to our backyard — and the opportunities extend well beyond the Games themselves.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, shared ideas and helped make this such a valuable morning.

The future is coming. Let’s make sure our local businesses are ready for it. 🚀

Did you know?

Cyber criminals are now using AI to make scams harder to spot.

The Australian Signals Directorate warns that AI lets attackers work with greater speed, scale and believability.

AI-written emails, cloned voices and fake websites are making old scams far more convincing.

You do not need to fear AI.

You need to use it wisely and know what to watch for.

Make sure you're in the room with the experts.

This event is proudly sponsored by CyberGuru. They are a Microsoft-accredited security and modern work partner, and are proud to be in the top 6% of partners globally. CyberGuru works with small businesses and not-for-profits every day, in plain English, not jargon. They have brought together global experts so that you can get advice you would normally never have access to, right here, close to home.

Come along, bring your questions, and leave with steps you can use the same week.
