Our passion is supporting regional business growth and development. We hope that these interactive sessions will benefit your business and empower you to overcome the significant challenges involved in running a business!

We have selected a series of interactive Workshops and Masterclasses to address the issues that are a challenge for businesses. 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 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.

When it comes to business advice, we believe that it pays to listen to people who have a track record of unique business success and entrepreneurial experience. Through our speakers’ professional acumen and extensive experience, delegates will be empowered with the guidance and renewed ambition to take their business to its next level of growth.

We fully understand that Networking is a powerful tool, introducing you to a swath of new contacts & new opportunities. Over the past 10yrs we have enabled 59,000 SMEs to network and make connections across the UK.

Meet 30 new contacts in 30 minutes. Speed networking is the quickest and most effective way for you to make contact with potential suppliers, partners or clients. Historically, all of our networking sessions are completely packed out throughout the day. To ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, we hold several speed networking sessions per day, including a ladies only networking session.

This is a great marketing tool & will help you to establish and improve your network, creating acquaintances throughout the region & a pipeline of leads.
