1 Events Media announces new North West trade exhibition - E3 Business Expo

1 Events Media, the North West-based events and networking specialist, has announced the launch of its new business-to-business trade exhibition - the E3 Business Expo - which will be held on 3rd March 2016 in the Premier Suite of the Macron Stadium in Bolton.

Aimed primarily at small and medium sized enterprises, the one-day event will feature seminars, speed networking sessions and over a hundred stands. It is intended to provide a simple, affordable and convenient platform for North West companies, charities and entrepreneurs to make new contacts and to gain vital insights from leading business experts.

The E3 Business Expo concept developed from the annual E3 Business Awards, which are designed to recognise business achievement across all sectors of the community. Over recent years, the Awards have amassed a diverse following that comprises business owners, senior managers, entrepreneurs and investors.

The Expo was developed in response to a frequently expressed desire for a major event at which exhibitors could promote themselves to a regional, multi-sector audience.

The exhibition floor will be divided into sector-specific zones so that attendees can quickly focus in on the businesses and services that are most relevant to them. Zones include: IT, telecoms and security Manufacturing, wholesale and retail Business support, consultancy and training Recruitment, education and employment Creative, digital and media International trade Financial, legal and professional In addition, the event will feature four seminars in the morning session and another four in the afternoon. These will address issues such as marketing, finance and selling online.

"We've designed the E3 Business Expo to offer exactly what North West businesses have been asking for," said 1 Events Media director Mubarak Chati.

"It's a combination of an exhibition, a networking event and a seminar programme and, crucially, we're packing it all into one day. That means exhibitors and visitors can focus their time and efforts very effectively. We're expecting a little over 2,000 visitors over the course of the day so it will be a great platform for making new contacts.

"For visitors, it will be an opportunity to learn from expert speakers, to network and to see cutting edge business solutions at work. For exhibitors and sponsors, it's a chance to build awareness and raise the profile amongst the North West's most diverse gathering of business owners and managers."

Exhibition stand bookings are now open. Companies can book their stands online via the E3 Business Expo website - http://www.e3businessexpo.co.uk. Those interested in sponsoring key parts of the event are invited to contact the organisers. Visitor registrations will open in January.
