11 Mar Croydon getting back to business with the return of Economic Summit and Business Live Expo
Join industry leaders and other Croydon businesses for a day packed with support to help you and your business recover, grow and face the future with confidence.
Taking place on Wednesday 23 March, the Croydon Economic Summit and Business Live Expo will provide Croydon businesses with an entire day to hear from leading figures within the borough and network, develop and explore new opportunities for growth at two town centre locations.
The day starts with the free-to-attend Croydon Economic Summit, which takes place at Boxpark between 8.30am and 11am. Delegates will hear from keynote speakers, and discussions will focus on the economic recovery of the borough and the role jobs and skills play in creating a more inclusive, greener and resilient Croydon, with the opportunity to be inspired by the innovation shown by businesses of all sizes and sectors and hear how culture and new ways of working can increase your market.
Following the Summit the day moves to London South Bank University’s Croydon Campus in Electric House, where more than 40 businesses will be showcasing themselves to one of London’s most diverse boroughs, and the community within it, for the Business Live Expo, which takes place between 11am and 5pm.
During this event, there will be speed networking, business advice clinics and Live Lounge discussion forums to take discussions further in dedicated meeting rooms.
This event is also free to attend, however there is the opportunity for businesses to book a stand and take the opportunity to highlight their services to Croydon’s business community. Starting from just £50+VAT, those taking stands will be putting their services directly in the eyes of minds of other businesses, with an exclusive opportunity to generate new leads and collaborate on new ideas, with added benefits including exclusive use of a Live Lounge to network.
You can book your stand here.
Tickets for both events (and stands at the Expo) are available on a first-come, first-served basis with priority for Croydon-based businesses.
The Croydon Economic Summit and Business Live Expo is being hosted in association with Croydon Council.
Councillor Manju Shahul-Hameed, Croydon Council’s cabinet member for communities, safety and business recovery, said: “With Covid restrictions lifted nationally and more people feeling confident being out and about, it’s a positive time for our local businesses and the wider economy, and a great time for businesses to come together for this exciting, free, in-person event.
“The Economic Summit will provide a fantastic opportunity for all Croydon businesses to get ideas, tips and advice from industry leaders for how to grow your business, people and finances during your recovery from the pandemic.
“The Business Live Expo will showcase the best Croydon has to offer and provide great opportunities for networking with other local businesses to rekindle links and meet new clients to support your business’ resilience for the future. Make sure your business is part of it.”
