Welcome to the show
Welcome to BUSINESS NORTH WEST 2012, the region’s premier event for SME business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs and decision-makers with real purchasing power. This two-day event brings together regional businesses to network and do business in an interactive and live environment.
This year’s event is set to be bigger and better than before, with a speaker line-up to match. There are over 60 learnShops seminars for you to attend with guest speakers including Google, Microsoft, Green & Black’s, PwC, Gü and Trunki, sharing with you their business experiences, their key successes and giving you their tips and tricks to help you develop your business.
New for 2012 is the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Mentoring Networking session, in which visitors can meet potential marketing mentors and learn from their experience. Many popular features return, including the Lions’ Lair where a few of the bravest exhibitors will pitch an innovative product or service to a panel of Lions, Speed Networking where you spend 60 seconds with up to 60 potential new suppliers and the Angels Den Business Funding Clinic.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our partners whose invaluable help and assistance have made this event such a great success: our National Media Partner, The Times, which is also sponsoring ‘The Times Think Digital’ learnShops; our Regional Media Partner, MEN Business Week; and also the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, the Institute of Directors, the CIM, the Federation of Small Businesses, Insider, EN Magazine, British SME,
TheBusinessDesk.com, Manchester Professionals, 4Networking, Angels Den and Forward Ladies.
Finally, I must thank you for taking the time to visit BUSINESS NORTH WEST. I know just how difficult it is to take the time out of your busy schedules, to take a step back and make important decisions which, in the long run, will make your company more successful. In the current economic climate, attending an event like this highlights your engagement and pro-active attitude to developing your business.
I wish you a successful visit and if you have any questions, the easyFairs team is always happy to help.
