The inaugural unLTD Business Expo took place this month, showcasing 75 local businesses and offering visitors the chance to connect and learn from a range of talks, debates and networking sessions.
Close to 500 visitors attended the event, and exhibitors crossed a multitude of sectors, from training providers, recruiters, business finance, IT services, Marketeers, travel companies, law firms and a whole lot more besides.
They brought an array of entertainment with them too, from mini-golf to cakes, cookies, and even a Cyclone of flying balls.
The day began with our breakfast panel debate about the opportunities the region needs to grasp with greater devolved powers on the horizon. Many attendees left feeling optimistic about the government's plans and their potential impact on local businesses. Visitors began arriving early and continued throughout the day, eager to explore the offerings. Seminars from ActionCOACH Sheffield and Andy Hanselman Consulting drew impressive crowds, while the speed networking sessions from 4N and South Yorkshire Business Network were a resounding success.
The overall atmosphere was incredibly positive, filled with laughter, engaging conversations, and the forging of new connections at every table. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who exhibited, attended, and supported us in this new venture. We are confident that the unLTD Business Expo will fill a gap in the market and help local businesses connect across the Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham area. With over 60,000 local businesses, there is so much opportunity to discover something new and unique.
The space at Magna already has us thinking about future possibilities. We’re brainstorming ways to make the next event—and the one after that—even bigger, busier, and more exciting.
Stay tuned!
