BUSINESS EVENTS

Meet your potential clients in a relaxed atmosphere and make the most of your existing contacts at a Conquest Business Events function.

You could join in one of our scheduled events during the year or commission a bespoke event to fulfil your own requirements.

Monthly Business Networking Clubs are enhanced by exhibitions and special events.

The Spring Business Exhibition in May is the networking clubs' annual display opportunity. This cost-effective event started in 1999 and gets bigger and better each year. The total attendance in May 2007 was 230.

The Business Start-Up Fairs give new business people the chance to meet service providers, attend seminars and find advice, help, business ideas and marketing opportunities. Our fair in Bedford in November 2007 attracted over 70 visitors who were either in their first year of business or were just thinking about starting up.

The Healthy Living Fair in April 2008 will give individuals and families choices of ways to look after themselves. It will give businesses in health, fitness, sport and well-being a showcase.

Conquest Business Events have been running successful business functions for over 12 years.

Good attendance and relaxed delegates result from tailoring the function to the purpose and vigorous marketing of the event.

Please see the individual event pages for details of our scheduled events or contact us to discuss a bespoke event.
The Calendar page shows all the events for each month.

BUSINESS NETWORKING CLUBS

Why go to a networking club?
The clubs enable local business people to meet and chat informally, exchange views, information and contacts.

Members say:
"Excellent evening on Monday. It's not every day you hear an inspirational speaker and get a free gift as well" -  Mike Reynolds of Mike's Blue Van

 "As always it is really useful to meet new contacts - I always keep business cards and details for future use.  One lady was really surprised when I contacted her 18 months after meeting her at a networking do - because a client was looking for a specialism and I knew I had  talked to someone over breakfast who could provide the service required." Carol Sawyers - Business Consultant

"Thank you again for a very enjoyable couple of hours.
It was a good cross section of people and I am meeting all sorts of local suppliers and hopefully potential clients."
Turly Humphries of The Set and The Legal Set
