Come and network at Brighton and Hove Business Show

With over 85 exhibitors, speakers with valuable information to share and Slo Mo Networking, it’s a day not to be missed.

On June 8, the Amex Stadium will host one of the biggest business events of its kind in Sussex.

It’s free to attend – and you are invited.

A year in the planning and with unprecedented support, this year’s Brighton and Hove Business Show promises to be a b2b showcase with a difference.

As well as boasting a plethora of stands representing a wide range of sectors – from cyber security to courier services and everything in between – the 2023 show will offer plenty of opportunities to connect with business leaders. Visitors will get the chance to meet key influencers and entrepreneurs with exciting new ideas.

There will be free parking and the show will be open from 10am to 3pm.

Organised by well-known Sussex businessman Mike Monk, the event has been carefully developed to ensure it delivers what local businesses need. That includes money-saving products and services, as well as the opportunity to build new business relationships and learn from leaders in their field.

Mike said: “I am looking forward to welcoming hundreds of visitors to the show. It’s entirely free to attend and is a great opportunity for anyone in business, as well as professionals.

“It’s easy to be part of the day – just turn up. You can be assured of a warm welcome.”

Before the two exhibition lounges open their doors, the show will hold its first ever Network Breakfast.

Taking place at HB’s Restaurant, also at the Amex, the 8am networking event will feature guest speaker Camille Pearson. She will talk about ‘How prioritising well-being is good for business’.

The headline speaker during the day will be Carlene Jackson. The full seminar timetable is outlined below.

Be part of something good

In its second year, Brighton and Hove Business Show strives to bring people together – to connect, collaborate and share ideas.

A veteran of business exhibitions, Mike says this event is the biggest he has ever organised. In fact, so many people have wanted to exhibit at the show, the exhibitor list has been updated multiple times – often several times a day.

The show’s ambassador is respected serial networker Chris Mansfield. Official sponsors are: Data Mail Solutions Limited, County Business Clubs Sussex, Cleankill Pest Control, More Radio, SRC Corporate Finance and 28thStreetMedia.
