Welcome to the 30th Business Show! It’s been a long journey since
the first Business Startup show in 2000 and we’ve gone from strength
to strength every year. Thanks to all our supporters over the years
and a warm welcome to all our new visitors in 2013.
As the UK’s biggest business exhibition and
conference, you’d expect there to be a lot
packed into the two days of the show – and
you’d be right! In fact, there’s so much that it
can be hard to know where to start planning
what you want to get out of your time here.
This show guide tells you what’s on when and
where, so that you can make sure you don’t
miss out.
Our keynote speakers include Saatchi &
Saatchi, Metro Bank, The London Stock
Exchange, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
You’ll find the biggest names in business
up front in the show guide, with full details
of their seminars, so that you can quickly
see who you can’t afford to miss. There are
more than 250 speakers presenting a wide
range of seminars and you’ll find every one
of them in our complete listings section in the
heart of the guide.
There’s no need to book for any of the
seminars, but places are on a first-come,
first-served basis, so get there early to avoid
disappointment.
The workshop schedule covers a huge variety
of topics and with more than 25,000 visitors,
networking opportunities include Speed
Networking, FaceTime, The Boardroom and
Business Connections. You could also come
away with investment as well as business
cards, thanks to Midas Touch and Angels
Den, two exciting live features that are a real
highlight of the show.
Take your time to pore over these pages
and plan your visit to get the most out of
your time. Places for workshops and many
of the features are limited and fill up fast,
so make sure you book in advance at
www.thebusinessshow.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you at the show.
