Coventry & Warwickshire Business Festival bagging substantial support

The Festival, developed by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and the Coventry & Warwickshire Growth Hub is a fortnight of exciting business events will take place across the whole of Coventry & Warwickshire between 20th November and 1st December 2017.

Many local organisations including the University of Warwick and Coventry University and the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce have recognised the benefits of being involved and are partnering with the Growth Hub to support the Festival. As well as backing the Festival they all are running a number of high- profile events throughout the two-week period.

The Festival is expected to have a market reach of around two million; around 50-75 seminars, lectures, workshops and conferences and between 5,000 and 7,500 people attending (with around 15-18% of these being from outside the area).

Partners and sponsors can expect to see numerous benefits such as untold increased exposure regionally and nationally as well as ample opportunities to grow their business networks and connect with like-minded industry experts, whilst being part of a region that is united in raising Coventry & Warwickshire's outstanding business profile to the rest of the UK and beyond.
