We’re excited to announce the return of the Dorset Chamber Business Expo taking place on Wednesday 14 October.

Join us at the Dorset Business Expo 2026

Meet and connect with hundreds of businesses in one day

The Dorset Business Expo returns on 14 October 2026 at Hilton Bournemouth, bringing together 60+ exhibitors and hundreds of delegates from across the region.

Sponsored by Snows and Bournemouth Toyota, this free-to-attend event is one of Dorset’s leading B2B events and a fantastic opportunity to make new connections, discover local businesses and create new opportunities.

Whether you’re looking for new customers, suppliers, partners or simply want to grow your network, the Expo gives you the chance to meet and connect with hundreds of businesses in one day – all under one roof.

And you don’t need to be a Dorset Chamber member to attend. The Expo is open to the whole business community.

Grow your network in a friendly, informal environment

With 60+ exhibitors and hundreds of delegates expected, it’s a simple way to have a lot of useful business conversations in one morning.

Even more ways to connect in 2026

This year, we’re making it even easier to connect before, during and after the Expo through our interactive event app, CrowdComms.

Create your own delegate profile, explore exhibitors before you arrive, connect directly with other attendees, arrange meetings and keep track of new contacts in one place.

We’ll also be introducing gamified activities throughout the Expo, encouraging you to explore the stands, start conversations and make even more connections.

Your connections and event information will remain available in the app for six months, helping you continue those conversations long after the event has finished.

Full details will be shared after booking.

Hundreds of businesses. 60+ exhibitors. One morning of connections and opportunities – and it’s completely free to attend.

Doors are open from 9.00am–1.00pm on Wednesday 14 October 2026.

Book your free ticket today and be part of one of Dorset’s biggest business networking events of the year.
