Bookings have opened for Dorset Chamber’s final Business Expo of the year, with more than 60 stands among the attractions.
The showcase, the leading event of its kind in the county is on Wednesday October 14 at the Hilton Hotel in Bournemouth.
Hundreds of visitors from businesses and organisations across the region are set to attend the expo, which is sponsored by Snows Toyota and Lexus Bournemouth.
It is open to the whole business community with free entry for chamber members and non-members alike.
Caroline Sharp, who is head of marketing and communications at Dorset Chamber, said:
“The Dorset Business Expo is a fantastic opportunity to make new connections, discover local businesses and create new opportunities.
“Whether delegates are looking for customers, suppliers and partners or simply want to grow their network, the expo offers the chance to meet and connect with hundreds of businesses in one day all under one roof.
“It is the largest and most popular event of its kind in the county, and we are looking forward to another successful showcase bringing businesses of all types and sizes together.
“Visitors are encouraged to book their tickets as soon as possible on the Dorset Chamber website and start planning their attendance.”
The expo is being held from 9am to 1pm at the Hilton in Terrace Road in Bournemouth town centre.
An interactive app has been created for the event this year through Dorset Chamber platinum business partner CrowdComms which allows delegates to create their own profile, explore exhibitors before they arrive, connect directly with other attendees, arrange meetings and keep track of new contacts.
There will also be gamified activities throughout the expo, encouraging visitors to explore the stands, start conversations and make even more connections. The chamber’s last business expo in May at the Vitality Stadium attracted a record 500 visitors. The event in October will be the second and final expo of the year.
With around 100 members any business in Dorset can join Dorchester Chamber from business for £60p/a (no VAT).
