News 2026

Agile IT Solutions has joined the Frankston Business Chamber as a Corporate member for 2026. It is a small thing on paper, and a deliberate one in practice. This is a short note on what the Chamber does, why we have stepped up our involvement this year, and what it changes about how we work in our own backyard.

What the Frankston Business Chamber does

The Frankston Business Chamber represents and connects businesses across Frankston and the wider Mornington Peninsula. It runs networking events and professional development through the year, keeps members informed on the local, state and national issues that affect them, lists members in its business directory, and gives the business community a collective voice with government, including the Frankston City Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

It also hosts the region’s flagship business event, the annual Frankston & Mornington Peninsula Business Festival. For a business based here, the Chamber is one of the clearest ways to stay connected to what is actually happening in the regional economy.

Why we have joined at the Corporate level

The Chamber offers tiered membership so businesses of every size and stage can take part. We have chosen the Corporate level deliberately. Agile IT is a local business that works almost entirely with other local businesses, and the Corporate tier reflects how seriously we take that, a fuller commitment to the Chamber’s work, and a more active seat at the table rather than a name on a list.

We are not joining to be marketed to. We are joining to be useful: to turn up, to contribute, and to back an organisation that does genuine work for businesses in our area.

For us, the Corporate membership came hand in hand with our Gold Sponsorship of the 2026 Business Festival, the festival sponsorship includes a twelve-month Chamber membership at the Corporate level. The two commitments support each other.

What Corporate membership includes

The Chamber offers membership across several tiers, Strategic, Corporate, Executive, Essential, and a Community level for not-for-profit organisations, so businesses of every size and stage can take part.

Our Corporate membership runs for twelve months and includes, among other things:

  • A listing in the Chamber’s members’ directory, with an extended profile
  • Up to four complimentary networking events, and discounted major-event tickets
  • Access to invite-only events, and the ability to host a networking or education event
  • Banner visibility at Chamber events
  • A featured social media post and a standalone email to the Chamber database each year
  • A seat at panels, advocacy groups and round tables, plus newsletter inclusion

Closer to the local business community

Agile IT works with clients from one end of Port Phillip Bay to the other, and Frankston and the Peninsula sit right at the heart of that. Becoming a Corporate member is part of a deliberate move to be more engaged locally, closer to the conversations happening across the Frankston City Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire business communities, and more present at the events where local owners and managers actually meet.

Good IT advice is, in large part, local advice. Knowing the businesses around us, the pressures they are under, and the way the regional economy is moving makes us better at the work we do for our clients.

“Joining the Chamber properly was an easy decision. We have built this business in and around this community since 2007. Backing the organisation that supports it, and being in the room more often, is simply the right thing to do.”, Linden Jackson, Managing Director

First up: the 2026 Business Festival

Our first major involvement as a member is the Frankston & Mornington Peninsula Business Festival 2026. Agile IT is a Gold Sponsor of the festival, we will be hosting a stand for the day, and our Managing Director, Linden Jackson, is speaking on what AI and emerging technology really mean for small and medium businesses.

The festival runs on Thursday 27 August 2026 at the Frankston Arts Centre. If you are a local business owner or manager, it is well worth the day, and we would be glad to see you at our stand. Full details are on our Business Festival 2026 event page.

If you run a business across Frankston or the Mornington Peninsula and want to talk technology with people who work in this community every day, get in touch, or just come and find us at the festival.
