Acton Business Expo – connect with local businesses
 

Whether you're keen to find out what's happening with the Acton business scene, or just seeking some local entrepreneurial inspiration, come along to the Acton Business Expo on Thursday 19 May 2016 – there will be useful opportunities to promote your own business, and to hear local experts share their advice and experiences.

Following on the success of the first Ealing in Business expo last November, the Ealing Council Economic Regeneration department is now staging a business expo just for Acton, supported by the Mayor of London's High Street Fund. 

Here's a sneak preview of the plan for the day:
• mix of seminars and inspirational talks
• speed networking session
• make-believe 'Dragon's Den' style panel discussion
• opportunity to meet a large number of local business-owners face-to-face 
• displays from a wide range of Acton-based enterprises in the exhibition hall

Acton-based businesses (shop or home-based) are invited to apply for an exhibition stand, now on sale at an early-bird price of £75 each, going up to £120 on Mon 21 March. (Note: there are only five stalls allocated to non-Acton based businesses, so if you're one of them, remember to apply before they've all gone.)
