Bristol firms have just over a month to make sure they secure sponsorship, exhibition stands and free delegate passes for the region’s biggest business show.
The Business Showcase South West 2015 will provide a platform for the best of the West of England’s innovation, creativity and enterprise.
It has already attracted blue-chip sponsors such as Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Barclays, and First Great Western, which is offering reduced travel fare for delegates. 
Free to delegates, the event at Colston Hall on May 14 and 15, offers a unique opportunity to network, find out about new products and services from leading suppliers, as well as learn from keynote speakers.
These are ‘Millionaires’ Mentor’ Bev James, industry icon Gerald Ratner, Levi Roots of Dragons’ Den fame, and Stella English, former winner of BBC’s The Apprentice
Other highlights at the event – now in its second year – include speed networking and an invitation-only drinks reception for the region’s leading chief executives.
Exhibitors already lined up range from Business West and Bristol law firm Veale Wasbrough Vizards to Radisson Blu hotel, Nuffield Health, World Pay and Olive Comms.
Bristol-based Business Showcase South West director and entrepreneur Jamie Breese said: “It is just one month to go before the region’s biggest showcase event, which we hope will attract 3,000 businesspeople. Events like these are crucial in helping people to develop their businesses, make contacts and be inspired by keynote speakers.
“I would urge anyone interested in sponsorship, securing stands or in booking delegate passes to act now. The feedback we had from speakers, exhibitors and delegates attending last year’s business showcase was extremely positive and we expect this event to be even better.”
Business Showcase South West is endorsed by leading figures from Professor Steve West, vice chancellor of UWE and president of Business West, to Mayor of Bristol George Ferguson.
