By Bristol24/7  Wednesday May 13, 2015

Business delegates are due to gather in Bristol for the Business Showcase South West 2015 event on May 14 and 15.

The region’s biggest free business event will welcome 3,000 people to Colton Hall.

Among the speakers at the event are Levi Roots, of Reggae Reggae sauce and Dragons’ Den fame, and industry icon Stella English, former winner of BBC’s The Apprentice.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

The event is now in its second year, returning to Colston Hall with free networking opportunities – include speed networking, four Networking breakfasts, and an ‘invitation only’ reception for the region’s leading CEOs – and seminars.

Among the top companies from Bristol and the region to have already signed up are Business West, Bristol law firm Veale Wasbrough Vizards, Radisson Blu and Nuffield Health.

Jamie Breese, director of Business Showcase South West, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming the region’s business people to this event, which this year champions innovation, creativity and enterprise. 

“Business Showcase South West is the event to attend to forge long-lasting business connections, to learn from business leaders and to be inspired by our keynote speakers. I would urge anyone interested in attending to book their free pass now.”
