Chelmsford’s premier business event returns to Hylands House & Grand Pavilion in Hylands Park on Wednesday, November 18.

Organised and run by Chelmsford City Council’s Inward Investment, Economy and Growth team, the Showcase has become an established annual event attracting hundreds of businesses.

Coinciding with Global Entrepreneurship Week, this year’s theme will be “Make it Happen!”

The Grand Pavilion will cater for up to 56 exhibitors with a refreshments and networking area, while Hylands House will accommodate a Business Breakfast Briefing, a Business Networking lunch and up to nine inspirational seminars and workshops throughout the day.

It’s a full but flexible day, with activities commencing at 7.30am and running through to 4.30pm.

Almost all guests who attended last year’s event rated the day as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.

Chelmsford City Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development, Councillor Neil Gulliver, said: “This event is a great opportunity to meet and network with a wide variety of businesspeople, as well as gaining an insight into innovative ideas that could assist you in growing your business.

"So, if you want to be inspired and “Make it Happen!” as well as view this excellent facility which is available for your future events, I suggest you come along on 18 November.”

The exhibition and seminars are free to attend for registered guests.
