Just Over Two Weeks to Go Until the Event Opens in London
📅 Dates: November 11–12, 2026
📍 Location: Excel London, London, UK
The Business Show London will return on November 11–12, 2026, bringing together an expected 25,000 SMEs and startups for two days focused on business growth, practical learning and professional connections. The programme will feature 500 exhibitors and 200 expert speakers, with sessions and resources addressing the challenges founders and entrepreneurs face in an increasingly demanding business environment.
The 2026 edition will focus on real-world challenges facing today’s businesses, including defining a clear value proposition, scaling sustainably, building teams that can grow with a company, accessing useful business resources and adapting to changing market conditions.
Supporting Businesses in a Changing Market
SMEs are operating in an environment shaped by rising costs, increased competition and accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence. AI is becoming part of the day-to-day operations of small businesses, supporting tasks such as administrative automation, customer service and decision-making.
While many founders remain at an early stage of AI adoption, the emphasis is increasingly shifting toward practical applications that can improve efficiency and support scalable growth. The Business Show London will address these developments alongside broader questions around funding, company culture, market positioning and sustainable expansion.
200 Keynote and Seminar Speakers
The conference programme will feature 200 keynote and seminar speakers across both show days, offering practical insights and perspectives for entrepreneurs and growing businesses.
Representatives from globally recognised brands including Google, HelloFresh and HSBC are expected to take part. Sessions will cover a broad range of subjects, from using design principles to drive change and developing the right business mindset to applying AI within supply chains and other areas of business operations.
500 Exhibitors Across Multiple Business Sectors
The exhibition will bring together 500 companies offering products and services relevant to SMEs and startups. Exhibitors will represent a wide range of sectors, with solutions spanning AI, marketing, recruitment, coaching, accounting and other areas connected with business development.
The exhibition floor will provide attendees with an opportunity to explore new tools and services, compare business solutions and meet providers working with companies at different stages of growth.
Speed Networking and Business Connections
Speed Networking will form part of the two-day programme, offering a structured format for meeting potential business partners, clients and other professionals.
Each interaction will last 60 seconds, with sessions running for 60 minutes and designed to create up to 60 new connections. The format will give attendees a focused way to expand their professional network and identify potential opportunities for collaboration.
Two Days of Learning, Discovery and Networking
The Business Show London 2026 is designed for businesses at different stages of development, from early-stage startups to established SMEs seeking new approaches to growth. Across conference sessions, exhibition areas and networking formats, attendees will be able to explore practical strategies, business solutions and ideas relevant to scaling in the current market.
