Nottingham Business Expo 2027 | Free Business Networking | BNX
About this Event
One useful conversation could introduce you to your next customer, help you solve a problem or uncover something that saves you hours of work.
But those conversations need somewhere to start. Step away from your desk and spend time with other business owners, people with practical experience and businesses whose services could make your working life easier.
The BNX Nottingham Business Expo brings together opportunities to make connections, exchange knowledge and get help with the things that matter to your business. You can come for part of the day or stay throughout—and you don’t need to be a BNX member or an experienced networker to take part.
WHAT COULD YOU GAIN?
New contacts through speed networking
Introduce your business and meet a range of people through short, structured conversations. Find potential customers, suppliers and collaborators, and discover who you’d like to speak to again.
Useful recommendations through the Business Knowledge Exchange
What book, tool, software or resource has made a difference to your business? Hear what other business owners recommend, share your own experience and discover something you might otherwise have missed.
Practical answers through Business Surgeries
Bring a question or challenge to our panel of experienced professionals. These audience Q&A sessions give you the chance to ask for guidance and learn from the questions other businesses raise.
Conversations with exhibitors
Explore products, services and support, speak directly to the people behind them and ask how they could help your business. It’s an opportunity to compare options and build relationships face to face.
Not sure who to speak to? Tell the BNX team what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find relevant people in the room.
THE BNX BUSINESS QUEST
Want a little help getting conversations started? Collect a Business Quest flyer when you arrive and follow the challenges to explore the stands, speak to exhibitors and discover what other businesses can offer.
Complete the Quest and you’ll be entered into a prize draw for business-building prizes, including BNX and 4N memberships.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Start-ups, sole traders, freelancers, consultants and business owners from Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and beyond.
Come with a business question, an idea to explore or someone you’d like to meet. You’re equally welcome if you simply want fresh perspectives and a chance to discover what’s available.
