Following the huge success of last year’s event, which delivered the biggest and busiest show yet, DL Business Expo returns on 19th September 2018.

DL Business Expo provides a unique opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products and services and is a great networking opportunity for the local business community. Last year’s DL Business Expo attracted over 60 exhibitors and over 400 attendees.

This year’s event will once again be hosted and sponsored by The Northern Echo Arena in Darlington, a great local venue, based close to good commuter routes.

The event kicks off with The Big Breakfast, a networking event, 8.30am until 10.00am which is sponsored by Endeavour Partnership and The Shred Centre. You can start your day with an informal networking event and a buffet of bacon sandwiches, fruit and pastries. This provides a great way to get connected with fellow local businesses before the Expo begins. The exhibition then opens at 10am and will run through to 2.00pm featuring seminars throughout the day for visitors to attend.

To celebrate this year’s event, we are entering everyone who signs up to exhibit or attend on the day into a free prize draw with the chance of one lucky winner winning a 14″ Chromebook, subject to them attending on the day.

If you are looking to get a new business idea up and running, or you are looking to expand your existing business, DL Business Expo is a must. This year’s event is going to have more exhibition space available to businesses and is a networking opportunity you do not want to miss.

Get valuable advice, support and solutions from a range of businesses including solicitors, manufacturers, training suppliers, accountants, IT providers, marketing service providers, funding specialists and many more.

Sharon Hutchinson, Managing Director and Chair of Darlington Business Club said: “This year we are stripping the event right back to its core purpose of creating opportunities for local businesses to network and showcase their products and services. The Darlington Business Club team are committed to delivering real value to the local business community and the DL Business Expo is a key part of that plan. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors The Northern Echo Arena, Endeavour Partnership, The Shred Centre, Business Central and FSB as without their support we would be unable to host this fantastic event”.

DL Business Expo 2018 is your opportunity to expand your business, identify opportunities, generate leads, gain inspiration, and get deals done! With up to 65 exhibitors and a sizeable number of key business connections to be made throughout the day, this is the event for your business.
