Hosted by Murray River Council and Campaspe Shire Council, the event aims to support business connections and leadership growth across the region.
The event on April 30, is a race chance for attendees to hear Mr Knoff’s incredible story.
As station leader at the Davis Research Station in Antarctica, Mr Knoff was leading 24 expeditioners in a standard mission when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, international travel came to a standstill and their ride home was cancelled — indefinitely.
Facing unprecedented challenges, Mr Knoff was forced to navigate extreme isolation and uncertainty with resilience and adaptability as he led his team through 537 days of winter.
Murray River Council Mayor John Harvie encouraged local business professionals to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
“This event is about bringing our business community together, fostering connections, and learning from an extraordinary leader,’’ he said.
“David Knoff’s experience in Antarctica will offer invaluable insights into resilience, leadership, and navigating challenges — skills that are essential for business success.’’
Campaspe Shire Council Mayor Daniel Mackrell highlighted the benefits of professional networking.
“Strong business networks are crucial for growth and innovation,’’ he said.
‘’This event is an excellent opportunity for business owners and professionals to meet, exchange ideas, and gain new perspectives.”
Campaspe Murray Business Connect is open to businesses across the Murray River Council and Campaspe Shire Council local government areas.
The event is on Wednesday, April 30, from 6pm to 9pm at Moama Bowling Club. Tickets are $45 a person and include a light dinner. Register now either via www.investrivercountry.com.au/events or https://www.trybooking.com/CZIUH
