After 18 months, the Chamber Business Expo is back on 7 October 2021 at the Three Counties Showground. The first in-person Exhibition since the pandemic began will be the perfect opportunity to get back to face to face networking and will provide a spotlight for your business.
The Business Expo is a great way to generate new business, promote your brand, network with business professionals as well as benchmark your company by seeing what your competitors are doing. This year will be especially relevant as the Expo will provide the opportunity to catch up with old faces, that you may not have had the chance to network with, and put your business in front of new eyes.
Attendance to the Business Expo is completely FREE with attendees just needing to pre-register their attendance.
With over 120 exhibitors as well as a host of guest speakers, informative seminars and a dedicated Networking Zone, sponsored by Worcestershire Growth Hub, with free tea and coffee, the Business Expo is the ideal location to spotlight your brand and grow your contact list. Whether you are an experienced business professional or a brand-new start-up company, this is the go-to event for anyone looking to develop key business relationships.
Exhibiting your business is a powerful marketing tool which provides a platform to promote your product or service to a group that may have little or no knowledge of what you offer. It can also be an ideal opportunity to launch new products or services as well as gaining maximum exposure for your brand.
For those eager to start networking early the Networking Breakfast, sponsored by GJS Dillon, will be the ideal start to your busy day of networking with over 200 business professionals. With breakfast provided, attendees will have the chance to hear from keynote speaker, Mike Schooling, Chief Technical Officer at Indra Renewable Technologies. The talk will focus on Sustainability and the Green Agenda alongside sharing how to overcome generic challenges, when to use energy, where to make investments and what contributes to net zero.
Included in the days schedule will also be a number of free informative seminars as well as the popular Food & Drink Producers Zone, sponsored by mfg Solicitors, which will give local producers the chance to showcase their products and offer free samples throughout the day for everyone to taste and enjoy. This Zone is one of the main features of the Business Expo and will have a dedicated space within the Three Counties Showground to highlight the wonderful food and drink on offer in the two counties.
Sharon Smith, Chief Executive of Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Business Expo is always one of our most popular events during the year, with this year set to be the most anticipated yet.
“Whilst virtual events and exhibitions have provided a unique opportunity during the toughest periods of the pandemic, building face-to-face relationships is still an important part of business, and exhibitions provide an ideal opportunity to do this.
“The return of this year’s Business Expo will help local businesses spotlight their brand and gain new leads and connections. Along with the exciting programme of seminars and speakers on offer, exhibiting and also attending the Business Expo will provide businesses with a platform to continue recovering and thriving.”
