The West Wiltshire Business Expo returns to Trowbridge this October, bringing together entrepreneurs, creators, local innovators and the wider Wiltshire business community for a day that blends insight, inspiration and genuine connection. Set within The Civic on 8 October 2026, the event is designed as a welcoming space where ambition meets opportunity, whether you’re proudly established or just beginning to shape your next idea.
A Showcase of Wiltshire’s Energy and Ideas
What sets the Expo apart is its atmosphere. Rather than a traditional, corporate exhibition, it has the feel of a community marketplace—one buzzing with conversation, discovery and possibility. The Trowbridge Chamber, supported by the Federation of Small Businesses, has curated a programme that brings together business leaders, start‑ups and regional talent under one roof. Throughout the day, visitors can dip into keynote talks, panel conversations and themed sessions ranging from AI and tech, to sustainability, marketing, finance and mental wellbeing.
There’s also a dedicated Young Entrepreneurs Hub, designed to celebrate early‑stage founders and give visitors a glimpse of the next wave of Wiltshire innovators. The result is an event that feels dynamic, inclusive and forward‑looking—perfect for businesses wanting to be part of the region’s growth story.
Why Taking a Stand Matters
For local businesses, exhibiting at the Expo is a chance to start conversations that don’t happen through screens or email threads. A physical stand places your brand in front of hundreds of potential clients, collaborators and supporters, all within an environment that encourages people to stop, chat and explore.
Stand packages have been designed to offer flexibility, with options ranging from simple 2‑metre displays through to larger premium spaces. Even the entry‑level package includes WiFi, a presence in the printed and digital show guide and promotional support via the Expo’s website and social channels. Higher‑tier options offer more space and visibility, along with half‑page or full‑page advertising within the show guide. Early‑bird pricing is available until 4 May, making it a timely opportunity for those looking to plan ahead.
Beyond the practicalities, exhibiting is a chance to immerse yourself in the region’s business culture. With footfall driven by talks, networking sessions and breakout events, the Exhibition Hall feels lively throughout the day.
How to Get Involved
Taking part is straightforward. Businesses can secure their stand via the booking form on the Trowbridge Chamber website, with bespoke display options also available for those with something a little different in mind. For enquiries, the Chamber’s team can be reached at info@trowbridgechamber.com.
With its combination of expert insight, marketplace energy and Wiltshire’s characteristic warmth, the West Wiltshire Business Expo is shaping up to be a standout event in the regional calendar—and a meaningful moment for businesses wanting to share their story.
