Author EditorPosted on Categories Networking & Events
Brighton stands selling fast, Gatwick expanding, and a lightning strike for Eastbourne.
Three shows. Three distinct locations.
One clear focus: creating powerful platforms for regional business growth.
Brighton & Hove Business Show
Thursday 4th June 2026 | 10am – 3pm
The Amex Stadium, Brighton
The Brighton & Hove Business Show is coming back to the Amex Stadium this June, confirming its spot as a key event in the Sussex business calendar.
Brighton has become known for offering more than just crowded exhibition aisles. It draws decision-makers, founders, professional services, and ambitious small businesses who come with clear goals. Exhibitors often mention the valuable conversations and real business opportunities that happen during the event.
Eastbourne Business Show
Wednesday 9th September 2026 | 10am – 3pm
The Kings Centre, Eastbourne
Lightning Fibre Announced as New Headline Sponsor
The Eastbourne Business Show is also looking strong this year, thanks to the news that Lightning Fibre is the headline sponsor.
Lightning Fibre has established itself as one of the region’s leading full-fibre broadband providers, investing heavily in infrastructure across East Sussex. Its commitment to supporting local homes and businesses makes it a natural fit for the Eastbourne Show, which continues to champion regional enterprise and collaboration.
This partnership shows confidence in the show’s growth and influence. Having a respected, forward-thinking local brand as sponsor adds more credibility and helps boost promotion and engagement in the area.
Gatwick Business Show
Thursday 8th October 2026 | 10am – 3pm
Lingfield Park Resort, Pavilion Suite
The Gatwick Business Show enters an exciting new chapter in 2026 with a significant venue upgrade.
This year’s show will take place at the Pavilion Suite at Lingfield Park Resort – a premium exhibition and conference space set beside the famous racecourse. The move represents a major step up in scale, facilities and overall visitor experience.
The new venue has great transport links, plenty of exhibition space, and a modern, professional atmosphere. It is set up to help people have longer conversations and build better connections.
A Standout Year for Business Events
Each show has its own regional focus, but they all aim to bring businesses together in a well-organised, business-focused setting that helps people make real connections.
With stands selling fast, it is set to be another standout year for business networking in Sussex and the South East.
