The North West Business Expo 2026, organized by Link Exhibitions Ltd (operating as Shout Expo), is the region’s most anticipated B2B networking event, designed to catalyze growth and foster high-value connections across the North West of England. Set against the impressive backdrop of the Bolton Stadium Hotel, this expansive exhibition serves as a centralized hub where innovation meets industry.
Spanning two floors of the iconic stadium venue, the expo will host over 100 exhibitors ranging from agile startups and local service providers to multinational corporations. The event is meticulously structured to provide a comprehensive view of the current business landscape in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and beyond. In an era where digital fatigue is common, the North West Business Expo emphasizes the irreplaceable value of face-to-face interaction, allowing delegates to build trust, showcase physical products, and negotiate partnerships in real-time.
Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with energy and opportunity. The floor plan is strategically designed to maximize footfall for exhibitors while ensuring a seamless journey for visitors. Beyond the exhibition stands, the event features dedicated networking zones where spontaneous conversations often turn into long-term business ventures. Whether you are looking to source new suppliers, discover the latest in business technology, or simply raise your brand’s profile within the local community, this expo provides the tools and the platform to do so.
The 2026 edition introduces enhanced digital integration, providing exhibitors with extended reach through the Shout Connect quarterly magazine and a dedicated WhatsApp community. For visitors, the day offers a chance to step away from the office, gain fresh perspectives from industry leaders, and leave with a notebook full of actionable contacts. By bringing together decision-makers from diverse sectors like Finance, IT, and Real Estate, Link Exhibitions Ltd ensures that every handshake has the potential to drive the North West economy forward. Join us for a day of discovery, professional development, and community building in the heart of Bolton.
