City Set to Showcase Sheffield

22nd June 2018

Meet and network with like-minded business individuals at Sheffield's leading B2B exhibition.

Sheffield Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce that their annual business exhibition, Showcase Sheffield, will take place on Wednesday the 24th October 2018 at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. Free to attend, in 2017 over 600 delegates walked through the doors and 90 businesses exhibited on the day. As well as a business exhibition the event will also feature a line-up of informative workshops, meet the buyer sessions and panel debates focusing on key subject matters in business. Sam Christmas, Commercial Partnerships Manager at Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, said: -Sheffield is one of the only core cities in the UK that until now has failed to deliver a large-scale business to business conference and exhibition. Sheffield Chamber of Commerce is committed to delivering an exhibition to rival the likes of the Buy Yorkshire event in Leeds and the Northern Business Expo in Manchester. -Sheffield is experiencing record levels of investment and employment levels are at a record high, it is therefore more crucial than ever that we offer a platform for local businesses to showcase their products and services across the region and beyond, to help facilitate further growth. -The event is going from strength to strength. We are expecting circa 120 businesses to exhibit on the day and the target is to attract 1000 delegates. Showcase Sheffield offers an unbeatable platform for networking, knowledge sharing and the opportunity to meet key decision makers from businesses of all sizes across all sectors. Richard Wright, Executive Director at Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, added: -Recent events (Brexit, Trade Tariffs) clearly demonstrate that we need to showcase Sheffield to the world and do business with it. The strength of the pound says we must do as much business locally as we can. This is a great city with fantastic capabilities and a lot to offer. This event will achieve both of the above. It's a unique opportunity to find suppliers locally and to find out about new international markets. There is no reason not to be there. The exhibition is sponsored by Business Sheffield, The Sheffield College, Sheffield Hallam University, Henry Boot and Superfast South Yorkshire.
