Back to your regularly scheduled programming, but hopefully with a clearer sense of your why.
The Southwest Business Summit is a wrap. From the opening night at the Huntsman to the gala and awards ceremony, this year brought together exactly the kind of people this region needs in the same room. Leaders, builders, small business owners, and community champions all showing up ready to lead through change.
Thank you for being part of it. We can’t wait to start planning the next one.

These rooms will be filled with entrepreneurs, leaders, creators and changemakers from across Southwest New Brunswick, all coming together to talk about what it really means to lead through change.

From a fireside chat with Arlene Dickinson to breakout sessions focused on real-life business application, strategy, leadership, AI, marketing and workforce development, this year’s summit was designed to leave you with ideas you can actually take back to your business.

We also heard the feedback from busy business owners who simply can’t step away for multiple full days. That’s why this year’s format looks a little different. The kickoff event takes place May 27 from 6–9 PM at Huntsman Marine Science Centre, with transportation available from the Algonquin and downtown Saint Andrews. The full summit day follows on May 28, packed with learning, networking and celebration, so you can get back to business.

The final walkthroughs are happening, the details are coming together, and we’re getting excited to welcome everyone to Saint Andrews next week.

There are still a few Full Delegate Passes available if you’d like to join us.
