Why OBM

About October Business Month

October Business Month (OBM) is the Northern Territory’s premier business event, delivering a dynamic, Territory-wide program of events that spark ideas, build capability, and connect the business community.

This year’s key theme is to Play to our Strengths. All events will bring this concept to life with a focus on one or more of these supporting themes:

• Digitalisation - embracing AI and smart technologies to drive productivity and innovation.
• Workforce - attracting, retaining and developing talent for long-term success.
• Resilience - building agile businesses that respond to changing consumer behaviours and market shifts.
