The Humber Expo 2010 – which will run from 9am to 4pm and for which entry is free – is the brainchild of Richard Moorhouse, business manager at The Freedom Centre, a thriving community and events venue in Preston Road, east Hull.
Having attended countless business expos and conferences himself in the past, he saw the potential of launching a Humber-wide networking and support event for business people, which would be about far more than simply selling products and services.
That's why hundreds of delegates are set to converge on The Freedom Centre, on Wednesday, November 3, to take advantage of the genuine economic advice that will be available from the 40 exhibitors and other features on the day.
The focal point of the event will be the keynote speakers that can be seen throughout the day, as well as speed networking seesions:
Guest speaker - Lisa Clifford, a master practitioner of neuro linguistic programming and hypnosis, trained by Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler.
Guest speaker - Andrew Chubb, executive headteacher at Archbishop Sentamu Academy, which is one of 17 schools in Hull being reconstructed and remodelled as part of Hull's £465m Building Schools for the Future programme.
Guest speaker - Jon Hilton, a former East Yorkshire soldier who now runs his own health and safety training business called Pulse Rate Training, will be telling his inspirational story.
Guest speaker – Michelle Vicker, business advisor for HM Revenue and Customs, with handy hints on self employment.
Two free speed networking sessions - taking place at 11am and 2pm, with a free lunch provided for all those who take part*.
"I am confident that the event is going to be a huge hit in its first year," said Mr Moorhouse. "The response we have had from both exhibitors and delegates has already been overwhelming.
The event's principal partner is Grow, an employment-related project commissioned by Hull City Council and its strategic partners. Grow partners are able to offer practical help to local businesses in the Hull area to ensure employers can retain existing staff and minimise any redundancies through the recession, so that as many people as possible stay in work. Expert advice and support is also available, at no cost to the employer, to local employers to improve business resilience and protect jobs in the future.
In addition, the event is being supported by Cobus, Prontaprint, Business Link, and the venue itself, The Freedom Centre.
