Business Shows Group Celebrates 25 Years With East Midlands Expo
East Midlands-based Business Shows Group is marking a major milestone this year, celebrating 25 years of hosting influential exhibitions in the property and construction sectors.
Over the past quarter-century, the company has been dedicated to fostering valuable connections and providing an essential platform for professionals across property, construction, professional services, finance, investment, and B2B industries.
To commemorate this achievement, the group will host the highly anticipated East Midlands Expo on 11th November 2024 at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham. Sponsored by prominent organisations including Willmott Dixon, RICS, RSVIP, Nottingham City Business Club, EMPO, Invest East Midlands, and Nottingham PIN, the event is set to offer unparalleled opportunities for exhibitors and attendees to expand their networks, grow their client base, and explore new business development prospects.
In addition to its business focus, the event will support four local charities: Base 51, The Friary, Emmanuel House, and the Notts County Foundation, emphasising the group's commitment to community support alongside its professional impact.

Our events aim to connect professionals within the property, construction and related sectors," said Tina King, Event Organiser, Business Shows Group. "The East Midlands Expo is the perfect venue to engage with clients, both new and old, all in one day."
This year's expo will showcase a diverse range of exhibitors, allowing attendees to engage directly with industry leaders, explore collaboration opportunities, and gain insights to propel their businesses forward.
Entry to the East Midlands Expo is free for delegates, with complimentary parking available. Highlights include a seminar titled 'The Magic of the East Midlands', featuring award-winning entertainer and speaker Looch, alongside East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward, Jerry Major from Willmott Dixon, Megan Powell Vreeswijk of Marketing Nottingham/Invest In Nottingham, and Jamie Jordan from the Bank of England, who will provide a financial update.
