Host your own event during the Festival and the Buckinghamshire Business First team will help promote it far and wide.

The type of event you run is entirely up to you (e.g. webinar, 1-2-1, clinic, networking, open day, drop-in session) - it just needs to take place between March 7th-18th in order for you to use the Festival logo and benefit from the enhanced promotion the Festival brings.

If you are a Stakeholder, Partner or Ambassador investor, you can create your event now.

If you are not an investor yet, email membership@bbf.uk.com or call 01494 927130 and speak to the team about how this can benefit your business – before, during and after the Festival.

You will never have a better chance to cram so much learning, networking and upskilling into one fortnight!

All you need to do is check the Business Festival events programme via this link and book your place on anything that takes your fancy.

You may want to save or bookmark the link for easy reference as more events are being added all the time.

One of the best ways to make new business friends during the Festival is to create a special offer for local businesses that runs throughout the fortnight.

This could be a discount, freebie, consultation, ‘test drive’ of a product or service, or anything else you have to offer.

If you are a Stakeholder, Partner or Ambassador investor, you can create your offer now.

If you are not an investor yet, email membership@bbf.uk.com or call 01494 927130 and speak to the team about how this can benefit your business – before, during and after the Festival.
