MCEI runs four types of regular Events, plus Special Events:-

1) MCEI Connect Events
These events are designed so that you go home saying “WOW I had an absolutely fantastic time – I can’t wait for the next one!” Dynamic celebrity speakers motivate, entertain and put you 'in the know’. We all want to know how these people became so successful - what we learn could turn our business on 'its ear'!

* Gold and Platinum Members go in a draw at each event to win unbelievable door prizes like a colour TV or a Digital Camera....you have to be there to win!
* Members are recognised and rewarded for their achievements; and much, much more!
* You can also click on the sub-buttons to the left to see details of previous speakers.

WOW Factor!
“I have attended many networking events, both government and privately run. What struck me with MCEI was the level of energy this group had. The president Barbara Gabogrecan showed incredible passion and compassion. This is a group I wanted to be part of….” Kelvin Eldridge

“Thank you so much for the invitation to the Connect Event. You created an excellent atmosphere (the ice-breaker ‘belly dancer’ helped everyone to relax). The door prize of a colour TV was awesome! The choice of speaker was also excellent! It was a fantastic group of people!!! I had a ball!!!”
Mandy Vicsai

“The event was great and the speaker was fabulous. Top job Barbara!”

2) Gold Pass Events
These events are held to develop the skills of participants and to provide them with helpful hints and tips for the successful running of their business. The sessions are interactive and more intimate to ensure effective up-skilling takes place. These Events are complimentary for Gold and Platinum Members.

Having a Great Time
"The session was informative and full of interesting information. It was held in a relaxingatmosphere and the attendee interaction made it very enjoyable." Damien Battersby

"This was a great meeting and a good talk with successful strategies discussed." Christina Chung

"I really enjoyed your event...it was not only full of practical ideas & information but I also really appreciated the chance to hear from the other members...there was such a wealth of experiences within the room & getting to know them in a forum such as this, is such a bonus."
Vivianne Italiano

3) Business Solutions@Work Forums
MCEI is running a series of Forums in conjunction with MBN Solutions, Home Based Business Australia (HBBA) and Local Councils. These are very special events that are designed to provide the business operator with 'shortcuts' through the maze of information that is available, so that they can find relevant, cost effective solutions to many of the problems that they face. There are lots of freebies to support the business operators.

Great Solutions
“Wonderful! I left feeling excited about marketing for my business. You gave me a wealth of information in such a short time! Your information and presentation was very inspiring." Cheryl Penna

"....Business Solution @Work was excellent. The information provided was both relevant and useful for all those that attended. This event helped to confirm that Barbara is a great asset for those with home based and micro businesses. I would highly recommend these seminars to people with their own businesses” David Allman Economic Development Monash University

“The workshop was a wonderful resource directory and of top value. It will save me a lot of time on research….Barbara is a walking, ‘up to the minute’ encyclopaedia!” Margaret Brockie

“The Forum was great, I really enjoyed the practicality… I love the way you integrate things to get value from them. Certainly I respect that and enjoy what I have seen of your work.Attending your event has got me re-thinking what my objectives are. Your book is great…” Michael Henderson

4) VIP Club
An exclusive Club where businesses that are keen to grow have an intimate dinner with a successful business operator prepared to share their experiences. Attendees get to know each other well and can then act as a support group where they can bounce ideas off each other, brainstorm with and share 'outside the box' initiatives together. To truly benefit, participants must be dedicated to growing their businesses, must not be 'risk adverse' and must be prepared to try new ideas and concepts.
