south west expo

Our passion is supporting regional business growth and development. With the COVID-19 outbreak presenting a significant challenge for SMEs we hope that these interactive sessions will benefit your business through this turbulent period. This is a great opportunity to discover new tools, acquire new skills and empower yourself to take your business forward.

We have selected a series of interactive Workshops and Masterclasses to address the issues that are a challenge for businesses in 2020. Not only are these sessions created to be an interesting and enjoyable way of gaining practical hands-on experience, they are also a way of picking up the knowledge that your company may be lacking & are full of practical ideas that you can apply immediately upon leaving the workshop.

We are excited to be able to bring a new line-up of global keynote speakers to this year’s virtual expos. It continues our proud reputation of bringing business’s most influential names to the region to inspire and motivate the local business community as they share their success secrets.

We have BBC Dragons, Global Entrepreneurial Pioneers, Olympians, Celebrity Business Personalities and Renowned Tycoons of industry confirmed to speak.

Through their business acumen and extensive experience you will be empowered with the guidance and renewed ambition to take your business to its next level of growth.

Just because you can’t connect in person doesn’t mean your business relationships have to suffer. Each VIP guest will get unlimited opportunities to meet with other attendees on a 1-2-1 basis for 2 minute sessions throughout the day. 

We fully understand that Networking is a powerful tool, introducing you to a swath of new contacts & new opportunities. Over the past 9yrs we have enabled 50,000 SMEs to network and make connections across the UK.

Our Virtual Networking has been designed to randomly select contacts for you throughout the day. This is a great marketing tool & will help you to establish and improve your network, creating acquaintances throughout the region & a pipeline of leads.

Although this year’s expo is being run virtually due to COVID-19, we wanted to ensure that it still feels like a GBExpo!

• Innovative exhibitors.
• #Funding opportunities for SMEs.
• Digital class rooms featuring unique sessions from Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and others.
• ‘Ask the Expert’ panel.
• ‘Meet the Journalist’ with some of the UK’s leading national journalists & editors.
