More than 70 Island businesses will come together at Ryde School next Wednesday (10th July) for the annual Isle of Wight Business Expo. Presented by IW Chamber and supported by main sponsor WightFibre, Expo 2024 is open to everybody and free to attend. Make sure you have Expo in your diary for the biggest day of business-to-business networking on the Isle of Wight. Building on the success of last year’s event, this year there’s expanded parking and attendees will be able to park within the school grounds. Doors open at 10:00 and Expo runs until 16:00. You don’t have to be an IW Chamber member to attend, and you can drop in at any time during the day. Steven Holbrook, CEO of the IW Chamber, says:
“We’re really looking forward to Expo and I would urge anybody involved in business to come and join us on the day. “We’re thrilled to be welcoming so many exhibitors and Expo looks set to be bigger than ever.
