The Sussex Virtual Business Expo was held on Wednesday 28th April on the Remo platform in collaboration with Network my Club and was really well received. On the day we had a total of fifteen Exhibitors and four Sponsors with forty visitors coming along to enjoy the day. The morning session was really busy and Matt Turner gave a great talk on “How to market yourself out of a Pandemic” that included some excellent tips. The four Sponsors all gave a two minute presentation each and they were Extech Cloud – FSB – Sussex Chamber of Commerce – Creative Pod as well as Sam Thomas from County Business Clubs a partner in my event.  In the afternoon we had Tony Silver the LinkedIn expert give a talk on “The first seven seconds on LinkedIn” that was well received and again good numbers of visitors came along.

If you had said to me fourteen months ago why don’t you put on a Virtual Business Expo I would have not taken it seriously so it goes to show how I have changed and pivoted in my business to be able to do this now.

The feed back has been very positive including some Exhibitors saying they had “five great conversations to continue after the event” and some saying “I have already booked Zoom meetings in to follow up on” which has convinced me I can run a successful Virtual Business Expo as well as a “Live” event. In addition I am donating £160.00 (40% of the ticket sales) to the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity in Brighton.

Partnering with Sam at County Business Clubs has been very worthwhile and I look forward to us continuing this excellent relationship for some time to come, and Bradley at NMC really knows what he is doing running an event on the Remo platform.

This brings me onto my Brighton Business Expo on Thursday October 7th at Brighton Racecourse back after two years because of COVID. To find out more about the Business Expo I run both online and offline email me at mike@advantagebm.co.uk or phone me on 07885 490266.
