Hi there,
I am on the Gold Coast too but have found lots of business networking groups, perhaps they may be of benefit to you too?
I am a member of BNI ( Business Networking International) but also attend the local
southern Gold Coast Creek to Creek Chamber of Commerce events once a month. There is also a local lady named Terri Cooper who runs great networking events on the Gold Coast and Brisbane, and I have heard good things about John Hurds Tweed Networking Group too. Let me know if you would like some more ideas suited to your particular part of the Gold Coast, as there are a lot of great events out there!
