Where One Ends, Another Begins: B2B Expos in Sussex

With the West Sussex Business Expo taking place last month, Sussex Business Times feeds back on the event just passed and introduces the next venture; Brighton Business Expo

West Sussex Business Expo

Since 2011, B2B Expos have been successfully organising business expos in major towns and cities across Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex. Their business shows are for local businesses who are looking to network, forge new relationships with local suppliers and be inspired in our seminars, workshops and keynote speakers and have so far demonstrated huge success among the business community.

Managing Director at Network My Club, Bradley Hatchett said: ““Network My Club had a fantastic experience at the recent West Sussex Business Expo, from hosting the pre-event networking breakfast for the Network Fontwell Business Club, to exhibiting and delivering the afternoon speed networking session. It was an excellent event to make new contacts and discuss potential collaboration with lots of businesses in attendance, and we look forward to doing the same at the Brighton Business Expo in October!”

Last month, the West Sussex Business Expo took place at Fontwell Park Racecourse and proved to be a success among local business visitors and exhibitors.

The day’s keynote speakers included Penina Shepherd, who talked about her bestseller book, The Freedom Revolution, and Natalie Montagnani, who spoke about why business marketing strategies must change. Also speaking during the day was Naomi Johnson and Andrew Abaza, with advice on positioning yourself as an expert and improving business profits.

Network Fontwell Business Club was also on hand earlier in the morning to host the pre-expo networking breakfast, as well as delivering a speed networking session later in the afternoon, while the event as a whole saw more than 60 exhibitor stands.

“The West Sussex Business Expo was held at an exceptional venue, allowing visitors to have meetings outside over coffee with nice surroundings. The visitor demographic was different and refreshing, and it was lovely to see how West Sussex as a whole supported the show,” commented Sussex Business Times Managing Director, Lee Mansfield. “Mike Monk and his team proved that there is definitely an appetite for events of this kind in Brighton and Fontwell and his organisation couldn’t be faulted; the range of speakers and workshops throughout the day offered a diverse experience.”

Brighton Business Expo

Where one ends, another begins and B2B Expos is coming to Brighton again later this year. The business exhibition is the ultimate event for all ambitious businesses that are looking to grow and prosper in Brighton & Hove.

Whether you’re an existing business looking to grow, a business in the early stages, or want to explore the possibilities of starting your own business – you will find something of interest at the show.

Taking place at Brighton Racecourse on 5th October 2017 at 10:00am until 4:00pm, this free-to-attend business show will provide you with a hive of creativity and activity from both the seminar programme, featuring high-paced speed networking, and inspirational keynote speakers, as well as from a variety of exhibitors showcasing the very best of local and regional businesses. Just like with the West Sussex Business Expo, Brighton Business Expo will provide exhibitors and visitors with a vast array of business advice and speed networking opportunities, ensuring you get the absolute most out of the day.

The Brighton Business Expo is set to attract an audience of more than
300-400 visitors of businesses looking to forge new relationships with local suppliers and be inspired in free seminars and workshops. Exhibiting at business show in Brighton will help put your business in front of potential new customers from across Brighton and Sussex and it’s the perfect way to showcase your services, generate new leads and raise brand awareness.

B2B’s expos attract a wide range of exhibitors, from accountants to website designers and legal specialists to support organisations; but they all have one thing in common – they’re exhibiting to showcase their latest products and business services that will either save you money, allow you to work more efficiently or to help you grow your enterprise. While this year’s exhibitors haven’t yet been confirmed, Sussex Business Times will have all of this information at a later date, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled!

It’s important to have a clear objective in place before you choose to exhibit at any type of business to business show. Exhibitors that do really well from these kind of business events typically plan ahead and decide on a goal, and so if you are looking to attend as an exhibitor, make sure you have a vision in mind.
