What to expect at Shropshire BizFest 2023
We can’t believe it, but there is just over 1 week to go until the return of Shropshire BizFest! The response to this event has been phenomenal and we’re looking forward to putting on our biggest and best event yet, with plenty for attendees to learn, engage with and take away to apply to their own businesses.
We have only a few spaces remaining, so if you want to attend the best networking event in Shropshire (which is free, by the way!), make sure you register for your space today!
Ahead of the event, we wanted to give a sneak preview of what you can expect on the day, including an overview of our speakers – including headline speaker, The Apprentice winner, Mark Wright. That is one session that we’re sure no attendees want to miss!
