The inaugural Brighton and Hove Business Show has been hailed a huge success

Staged at the AMEX Stadium on June 23, the event saw stand bookings sell out well in advance of the show.

Organised by well-known Sussex businessman Mike Monk, it attracted a wide cross-section of exhibitors from the B2B sphere.

Boasting Slo-Mo networking, a world-first from tech innovator Hexology and a stellar line-up of speakers, it garnered a steady stream of visitors throughout the day.

Mike, who is now working on plans for next year’s event, said: “It was an incredible day, with many exhibitors expressing an interest in booking stands for 2023.

“The show had a great atmosphere and was perfect for networking. We couldn’t have had a better venue; it really was ideal.”

Both exhibitors and visitors benefited from free parking as well as world-class facilities. 

The theme of the show was Connecting Businesses – something it managed to achieve effortlessly. 

Brighton Chamber led the networking session and the headline speaker was Darrel Butlin, of Hexology. Other speakers included Henry Laker, Frank Marsh, Emma Pearce and Claire Mason 

Dozens of exhibitors supported the event, many coming up with ingenious competitions and giveaways to attract visitors to their stand.

Mike says it proved to be a great platform for local businesses to amplify their presence and showcase what they do. 

A date for next year’s event will be announced shortly.

In the meantime, anyone interested in exhibiting at next year’s show is urged to contact Mike as soon as possible to secure a stand.
