The exhibition is a fantastic way to meet and network with a large number of businesses under one roof.

“Since its beginnings as the ISSBA Trade Fair many years ago, ABE has grown to become the premier B2B event in our region,” said Graham Barton, ISSBA chair. 

“We are extremely proud to give our business community the chance to promote what they do, make connections and generate new business. 

“Thank you to everyone that has supported the exhibition over the years, especially our sponsors, as we couldn’t run the event without them. We can’t wait to see you there!”

The exhibition opens at 10am and runs until 5pm. Visit www.angliabusinessexhibition.com to find out more and pre-register for your free visitor place.
