B.I.T.E Business Conference 2025 Official Event Highlights

In May 2025, the Mornington Racecourse was transformed into a powerhouse of ideas, innovation, and connection as hundreds of business owners, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders came together for the 4th B.I.T.E Business Conference. With a standout lineup of keynote speakers, practical panel discussions, and a buzzing business expo, B.I.T.E Conference 2025 delivered real-world insight on AI, automation, and business growth - and set a new benchmark for what a regional business conference can be.

Now, in 2026, B.I.T.E Conference is back for our 5th - bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. Building on last year’s momentum and in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, this year’s event promises even more inspiration, sharper strategy, and deeper connections. If 2025 was the proof, 2026 is the one you cannot afford to miss.

RElive the energy, ideas, and connections that made B.I.T.E Business Conference 2025 an unmissable event for any small business owner or operator.

What is B.I.T.E Conference?

2026 marks the fifth year of the B.I.T.E Business Conference - the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region’s premier event for bold, future-focused business owners and leaders.

Originally launched in 2017, the B.I.T.E Business Conference quickly built momentum across 2018 and 2019, paused during the COVID years, and then returned with impact in 2025. Now, we’re back again for 2026, proudly presented in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire and Smart Business Solutions Group.

Built on the foundational pillars of Business, Innovation, Technology and Excellence, this year’s event invites you to REthink old systems, REinvent your strategy, and REignite your business with energy and intention.

Designed to bring a true city-style conference experience to the Mornington Peninsula, B.I.T.E Business Conference blends global keynote speakers and expansive thinking with local insights and curated panel sessions all tailored for the real challenges and ambitions of small and mid-sized business.

We’re also thrilled that B.I.T.E Conference 2026 will kick off the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Small Business Festival, launching a month-long celebration of local enterprise, innovation, and growth.
