When you’re busy running a business, meeting new contacts can slip down the list. The Northamptonshire Business Exhibition brings businesses together in one place, making it easier to have the conversations you might otherwise struggle to fit into your week.

Speak to exhibitors about the challenges you’re working through, discover products and services that could help your business, and introduce yourself to potential customers and referral partners. You can also catch up with existing contacts and meet the people behind businesses you already know by name.

Come with a few people you’d like to meet or a question you need help answering. Give yourself time to explore.

COFFEE & CONNECT

8.30am–10am | Free for members and non-members

Start the morning with a coffee and a chance to get to know other local businesses before the exhibition opens. This informal session gives you time to introduce yourself, catch up with familiar faces and make new contacts in a relaxed setting.

If you’re coming along on your own, it’s a useful way to meet people before heading into the exhibition and continuing those conversations.

EXPLORE THE BUSINESS EXHIBITION

10am–3.30pm | Free visitor entry

Meet exhibitors, ask questions and discover the expertise available across Northamptonshire’s business community. Speaking face to face gives you the chance to explain what you need and understand how another business could help.

Whether you’re reviewing suppliers, looking for support or simply keen to become better connected locally, allow yourself enough time to visit the stands and talk to the teams behind them.

SPEED NETWORKING

1.30pm–2.30pm | Free for members and non-members

Introduce your business to more people in a focused, fast-paced session. Speed Networking is a practical way to broaden your contacts, explain what you offer and discover businesses you’d like to speak with again.

Bring your business cards and a clear introduction to what you do. Afterwards, use your time at the exhibition to pick up the conversations that felt most relevant.
