Enterprise Oxfordshire is pleased to announce this year's Marketplace and Celebration event on 4th November 2026.

We are absolutely delighted to announce the return of our Marketplace and Celebration event for 2026 (MAC26)! Following the resounding success of last year, which saw a vibrant marketplace and a truly memorable awards evening at the Oxford Town Hall, we are back to bring together Oxfordshire’s thriving business community once again.

MAC26 is designed to be the ultimate platform for connection, recognition, and opportunity. This year, we are shining a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of the SMEs, innovators, and leaders who have engaged with Enterprise Oxfordshire Business since April 2022.

Celebrate. Connect. Elevate. The MAC26 marketplace will host around 40 local businesses, providing a unique space to showcase products, services and ground-breaking ideas. Our celebratory awards ceremony will highlight the outstanding accomplishments across the county and because we believe every success story deserves a stage, nominations for all categories are completely free.

We are delighted to annouce Mark Franklin as the guest speaker at our Marketplace and Celebration event this year. Mark is an award-winning transformational mindset coach, speaker and author with 20+ years’ experience helping business owners to embrace their Four Fears – the four most common mindset barriers preventing them from having the business (and life) of their dreams. ®

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our partners and sponsors who make this event possible. More than just a ceremony, MAC26 is a chance to elevate your profile and tap into a wide range of free business support.

Join the celebration on November 4th, 2026. More details to come.
