As the industry-leader, Business Startup is free for anyone thinking
about starting a business or expanding a business. With over 250
seminars, over 350 exhibitors, advice, opportunities, and much more, can
you afford to miss out?
STARTING
There are no two ways about it - and you'll know better than most -
starting a business can be a daunting task, regardless of industry.
After 12 years of running the biggest business show for start-ups and
SMEs, we've seen it all, so we recognise what a young business needs to
know before getting started. And this series of seminars will help
address the fundamentals of starting a business.
NETWORKING
Networking is an essential business skill that many people find
difficult. Of course - making small talk with strangers isn't always
easy. Our speed-networking feature aims to help people make relevant
contacts, fast. The Business Connections area aims to do the same, but
in a more relaxed environment with the secondary aim of getting
businesses social media savvy.
WOMEN
As one of our most popular seminar series', Inspiring Women does exactly
what it says on the tin. The speakers here are amongst some of the
country's most successful entrepreneurs - and yes, they're all women.
You'll meet the driving forces behind some of the UK's best-known
brands, covering all areas of industry.
BOSS
Since it was launched in 2007, the Be The Boss series of seminars has
been one of the highlights of The Business Show. There are always plenty
of handy hints and tips for attendees to collect, help them progress in
their role or future role as 'the boss'. After all, being the boss is
what business is all about, and there are countless ways to achieve it.
EXPERTS
This is your chance to pick the brains of some of the leading business
experts in the country. Each with areas of expertise and industry,
you're certain to find the expert advice you are looking for at either
of the two features here. The 1-2-1 sessions are designed to offer a
bespoke analysis of your business, while our Boardroom feature enables
visitors to benefit from and learn about peer-to-peer mentoring and
business development support.
THE MIDAS TOUCH
If you've got a flawless business plan and only need the money to make
it happen, then pitching to our panel of millionaire entrepreneurs might
be the most productive fifteen minutes of your career. On both days of
Business Startup, visitors are welcome to take part as pitchers and
viewers in this edge-of-the-seat live show.
