New Business Exhibition to Champion Startups and SMEs

A brand-new business exhibition is set to take place at the voco Rockingham Forest Hotel on Thursday 13th November, designed specifically with startups and SMEs in mind.

While many exhibitions across the region provide excellent opportunities for established businesses, this event recognises that for many smaller companies—especially those just starting out—the cost and scale of larger exhibitions can sometimes feel daunting. This exhibition offers a more accessible platform, with affordable pricing for exhibitors and completely free entry for visitors, ensuring the event is open and welcoming to all.

The exhibition will provide a vibrant networking environment where ambitious startups and growing businesses can showcase their products and services alongside supportive organisations, potential clients, and like-minded entrepreneurs. Visitors can expect a buzzing exhibition floor, networking opportunities, and a real celebration of innovation from some of the region’s brightest up-and-coming businesses.

“We wanted to create an exhibition where startups and SMEs feel they truly belong—somewhere that gives them the chance to be seen, to connect, and to grow, without the barriers that sometimes hold smaller businesses back,” said Kerry Baker, Polka Dot Events.

With spaces available now for exhibitors, the event provides a unique chance for businesses to increase visibility, make new connections, and gain inspiration—all in a supportive environment tailored to their scale and needs and with free visitor entry, it’s an unmissable opportunity for anyone looking to discover new products, services, and business talent in the region.
