A RECORD number of companies have registered to attend Chelmsford's biggest business networking event.
The Chelmsford Showcase for Business has had over 800 individual reservations for the ten seminars and two networking business events, even before reaching the end of October. This is expected to exceed 1,000 by the time of the event at Anglia Ruskin University on November 14.
Organiser Mike Smith promises it will be a productive and rewarding day.
He said: "With such an excellent variety of up-to-the minute topics from some great speakers, I hope delegates coming to the Showcase and, in particular, attending these seminars will leave with some new ideas, fresh thinking and the motivation to make their businesses even more successful."
The event, organised by Chelmsford City Council, is an opportunity for local businesses to meet while promoting economic growth in the new city.
The breakfast briefing and Essex Chambers of Commerce networking lunch are both already at full capacity.
Numbers are higher than in the previous four years, but there is still time to register.
There will be 41 exhibitors and ten seminars, with the director of the British Chambers of Commerce, John Longworth, as the guest speaker at the business lunch. Last year about 400 business people attended the event, which has a new layout this year with more organisations taking exhibition space and with business advisors on hand to provide one-to-one advice to new and existing businesses.
