E3 Business Expo 2017 grows year-on-year

More than 600 north west businesses attended this year's E3 Business Expo, meeting with exhibitors, participating in business networking sessions and to listening to a series of seminars and expert panels.

"Last year's Expo created a solid foundation," said Mubarak Chati, managing director of the event organiser, 1 Events Media. "We'd set out to pack as much as possible into a single day event - the idea being to ensure that visitors could use their time as productively and efficiently as possible. That inaugural event drew over 500 delegates and, importantly, it proved to us that the model worked.

"These added features helped to keep people coming in all day, and the many guests I spoke to seemed to be finding it really rewarding. Feedback from the stands was likewise very encouraging, with exhibitors remarking on both the quantity and quality of visitors."

The seminars took place to one side of the main hall, where, on more than 60 stalls, exhibitors demonstrated new products, new technologies and new solutions to the challenges of business.
