Over 800 business leaders expected at Shropshire business festival in Telford

Shropshire Business Festival is set to take place at Telford International Centre on March 6. 

The event is described as the county’s biggest networking event by organisers Shropshire Festivals, who say they expect to attract over 800 business leaders.

They say the free-to-attend event will provide a platform where business leaders can grow their contacts and knowledge in a relaxed setting, with seminars, exhibitors, icebreaker activities, and a VIP event. 

“Get ready for some serious fun at our business event with a difference and smash your 2025 business goals,” said Beth Heath from Shropshire Festivals.

“This isn’t a stale networking event. Instead, we’ll bring you a festival packed with icebreaker activities and learning opportunities because let’s face it, there’s no better way to connect with people than when you’re having fun.

“As well as rubbing shoulders with Shropshire’s business leaders, you can elevate your knowledge with topical seminars on the Start Tech stage, generate new leads in the Good2Great Networking Area, gather marketing and business growth insights from a Clear workshop, sit down with finance experts in the Azets Advisory Area, meet over 60 exhibitors, and take part in plenty of fun with remote controlled cars, cow milking, axe throwing, lorry driving and more.”

In conjunction with the festival, local MSP, Start Tech is running a Cyber Awareness Event ahead of the festival while Shrewsbury based digital agency, Clear, is running marketing and business growth workshops.

A ticketed VIP event will also take place at the end of the festival for focussed networking at a Pudding Club.

Shropshire Festivals say you can secure your free ticket and book on to the VIP event at www.shropshirebusinessfestival.co.uk.
