Exhibitors’ investment in display space at the Expo is what powers the event and keeps it free for visitors to attend and participate. Exhibitors are at the heart of the Expo (we’re aiming for a good range of local businesses, to make the show a really exciting one), and are also the ones who gain the most out of the event, in terms of long-lasting publicity and promotion and real interpersonal connections.
If you have decided to exhibit at the Ealing Business Expo on Monday 19 and/or Tuesday 20 October, 2020 – thank you.
