Chamber announces return of biggest networking event

Around 130 exhibitors are set to pitch up at Edgbaston Stadium when Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce’s premier networking event returns later this year.

The Greater Birmingham Business Expo on 1 October is expected to attract more than 500 business delegates.

With hundreds of attendees, five pop-up seminars and a speed networking session, the expo is the GBCC’s biggest networking opportunity of the year.

Businesses can book their exhibition stands now at an ‘earlybird’ rate, for the opportunity to showcase their brand and products as well as generating new leads.

The earlybird deadline is 6 May.

The expo is taking place alongside the GBCC’s inaugural Business Growth Studio Conference, with conference delegates able to visit the expo between sessions.

However, the two events must be booked separately.

Paula Bates, head of marketing, digital and events at the GBCC, said: “This is by far our biggest networking event of the year, with the opportunity to build new connections, showcase your business and boost your knowledge through our informative seminar programme.

“We’re also anticipating additional footfall this year with Business Growth Studio Conference delegates able to visit the expo.

“Exhibition stands are always in high demand so I would encourage interested businesses to book quickly to secure the earlybird price.”

A range of opportunities to sponsor the expo are also available, ranging from £2,500 as a headline sponsor, £2,000 as a car sponsor or £1,500 as a seminar sponsor.
