Cheltenham to Hold National Growth Exhibition & Conference – A Major Boost for Local Entrepreneurs and Innovation

Cheltenham, UK – Cheltenham is set to become the epicentre of UK enterprise this May, as it plays host to The Business Growth Show – the National Growth Exhibition & Conference – on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th May 2025 at Cheltenham Racecourse.

The two-day event is expected to draw over 1,000 business owners and leaders from across the country, with the spotlight firmly on innovation, scale-up support, and business success stories from the South West and beyond.

Organised by The Business Growth Network, the show brings together entrepreneurs, experts, and suppliers under one roof – with the aim of helping businesses connect, grow and thrive. It's a unique opportunity for Gloucestershire businesses to showcase their talent, meet investors and collaborators, and plug into a national network of growth-minded professionals.

“Cheltenham has long been a hub for creativity, digital innovation and fast-growing enterprises,” said organiser Mark Linton, who has nearly 30 years’ experience in delivering business development events across the UK.
“This event is a celebration of that entrepreneurial spirit – but it’s also a practical, action-focused event designed to generate real results for businesses of all sizes.”

Driving Regional Growth & Opportunity

Cheltenham’s selection as host is no coincidence. With a growing reputation for cyber security, creative tech and enterprise support, the region is fast becoming a national centre for innovation and start-up success.

The event will support that momentum by offering:

• Expert-led workshops on leadership, marketing, finance, innovation and scale-up strategies.
• A buzzing exhibition hall with up to 100 exhibitors offering business services and solutions.
• Multiple networking opportunities, including speed networking, LinkedIn lunches and VIP connections.
• A pre-event Exhibitors & Speakers Dinner to welcome attendees from across the UK.

The show will also feature a lineup of high-profile speakers, with past keynotes including Google executives, Government Ministers, and well-known business personalities. The 2025 speaker list is set to be announced soon.

Free Tickets for Local Businesses

Local entrepreneurs and business owners are encouraged to register for free access or upgrade to VIP tickets for exclusive benefits, including fast-track entry, prize draws and after-hours networking events.
