Grow You, Grow Your Business Conference and Expo 2025
Preparations are now in full swing for our Business Success Network Conference and Exhibition 2025.
The ‘Grow You, Grow Your Business’ Day is back bigger and better than last year and in a new venue!
This year Aston Villa Football Club (Villa Park) will be the home to our conference on the 6th February 2025.
Just like last year we’ll have 10 speakers covering each of our 10 Business Success Pillars. We’ll also have our meet up and mingle sessions (networking), swag bags full of goodies and an expo full of potential suppliers, products and collaborations for you.
We are pleased to welcome back Gary, from Grow Radio, who will be back interviewing attendees, speakers and exhibitors giving them the opportunity to appear on the BSN Podcast and Grow Radio. The day will be live streamed on the radio also.
The day will run from 9am-5pm with speakers 10-4pm and networking events and exhibition either side. Attendees will have refreshments on hand throughout the day and a 2 course lunch. There will also be plenty of time to check out and support the expo. Grab your ticket here!
Sponsor and exhibitor packages are already being sold and we already have a great range of businesses involved. Would you like to be involved, get visible and get the most out of the day? Use the contact us form to ask for a media pack.
