Delegates attending The Business Show Swindon 2011 at STEAM on 10th February can expect a broad showcase of up to 80 exhibitors from across the region.
The show, sponsored by Lloyds TSB Commercial, will feature a topical seminar programme, free speed networking sessions and a conference café for networking, refreshment and one to one meetings.
The seminar programme will address current topics, such as marketing for a new age. Sought after speaker, Grant Leboff, will discuss the massive changes that are taking place in a world where the old sales and marketing models are now obsolete, and how businesses with sales and marketing strategies can be successful in this new environment.
There will also be an exclusive Espresso bar for members of the Swindon Initiative and GWE Business West’s LinkedIn business group, which currently attracts over 1550 business people making it the largest LinkedIn business group in the South West. The bar will provide an opportunity for those LinkedIn members to meet face to face and extend online connections offline. Business people across the region can join in business focused discussion and debate at www.gwelinkedin.co.uk
Ian Larrard, Director of the Initiative in Swindon and Wiltshire at GWE Business West said. “There has been a gap without such a show in Swindon for several years. Hopefully moving into a recovery period it is an excellent time for businesses to be marketing and promoting themselves.”
Delegates can also participate in a special Funding for Growth workshop and Q&A session in the afternoon. With businesses finding it increasingly difficult to access funding to grow their business, a group of trusted experts will offer advice and information on the types of funding available. The panel will also advise on the criteria and steps that need to be taken in order to access funding for growth.
Nicky Alberry, Chairman at GWE Business West said “The Business Show Swindon 2011 is a great opportunity for businesses to connect with companies in Swindon and beyond, to network, exchange ideas and make new contacts.”
The Swindon Strategic Economic Partnership (SSEP) Annual Conference will run alongside The Business Show Swindon 2011 in the morning. SSEP will outline their achievements over the last 12 months, together with their vision for the future. Prior to that there will be a Swindon Chamber of Commerce breakfast.
The show, easily accessible from the M4 and Swindon railway station, will run from 9am to 4pm. To register to attend visit www.businessshowswindon.co.uk
