For Ballarat IT professionals, these breakfast meetings are designed as networking events for growing IT industries and are jointly sponsored by Business Ballarat, JK Personnel and cBallarat Limited.
cBallarat and Business Ballarat have taken over the running of a very successful series of networking events for the IT industry in the Ballarat region. These events were initiated by local company JK Personnel and became a runaway success. Understanding the significance of these events to Ballarat, JK Personnel handed the series over to cBallarat and Business Ballarat. JK Personnel are however still actively involved in the joint management of these events.
The first of the new series of breakfasts was held on the 24th April 2002. Fifty people attended to hear a joint presentation from Ballarat Internet Gateway Services and Telstra Countrywide with regard to the Ballarat Telecommunity Portal.
Breakfasts are held every two months in a variety of venues around Ballarat. Usual starting time is 7.30 am. All our guest speakers have been informative and entertaining.
