About the Event

NBN Future Ready Regions: VR Roadshow

Future Ready Business: Experiential Learning in VR

What does the future of workforce training, staff development and business capability look like for regional Australia?

As part of the nbn Virtual Reality Roadshow, Toowoomba has been selected as one of only 21 communities nationally to host this unique event, recognising the region's strong business leadership, growing SME sector and commitment to innovation.

Combined with the growing availability of nbn Fibre to the Premises across Toowoomba, this creates an ideal opportunity for local businesses to explore new technologies that are helping organisations improve productivity, develop employees and enhance customer experiences.

This is not a technology presentation. It is a practical, hands on session designed specifically for business owners, managers and community leaders who want to better understand how emerging technologies are being applied in real workplaces today.

Attendees will experience immersive Virtual Reality firsthand and learn how businesses are using VR to support staff onboarding, workforce training and professional development. The session will also explore how regional businesses can access the same innovative tools and training experiences as larger metropolitan organisations.

A highlight of the event will be an interactive demonstration of Minaca VR's Managing Customer Aggression training program, developed by award winning Australian VR specialists Start Beyond. Named among the AFR's Most Innovative Technology Companies and one of Australia's leading startup employers, Start Beyond is nbn's technical partner for the national VR roadshow.

Join fellow business leaders for an engaging and thought provoking session and discover how connectivity, innovation and experiential learning are helping regional businesses build capability, remain competitive and prepare for the future.
