EalingBizExpo: The best way to promote a business in Ealing this spring

Keeping up with our efforts to be an "eco" Expo, this year our giveaway item will be yellow gladioli flower bulbs: plant in March the day you get home from the Ealing Business Expo, and see them flower in July. There will only be enough for the first 100 arrivees to the Expo each day, so be sure to arrive by around 11am to get your hands on a freebie packet.

1. Two months to go
Not overly blowing our own trumpet or anything, but there really isn't another bigger, better or friendlier option for promoting your business in Ealing than the Ealing Business Expo, and if you are among the 20,000 or so businesses based in the London borough of Ealing, by now you'll probably have made a plan to make the most of what the event has to offer.

Even if you're not based in Ealing, you're very welcome to come networking with us.

All the information you'll need to expo is on our website ealingbizexpo.co.uk: the Visit page has the event schedule for the two days; the Exhibit page has information about taking a stand at the Expo; and the Exhibitors page shows the businesses who are confirmed exhibitors and sponsors.

**One month from today on 23 February, you'll be able to access all that info, join the Expo community, and get a head start on your Expo networking via the Ealing Business Expo app powered by Ugenie – so look out for that launch in next month's newsletter**

2. AttendIT joins us as sponsors
As we start the two-month countdown to Ealing Business Expo 2020, we have the happy announcement to make that Attend IT have joined our list of headline sponsors, alongside The Boutique Workplace Company and Galactica IT Group.

Attend IT, led by Ealing-based founder and managing director Adam Shailes, will be supporting the Expo as tech partners, with special focus on streamlining the signing-in process so that you don't have to wait in a queue to get past the Expo welcome desk. If you have your own IT needs and concerns, get in touch with them via their website attendit.net

Reminders of how you can use the Ealing Business Expo to promote your business – your investment is what keeps the event free to attend for everyone, and helps to cover the costs of staging the Expo:
