Originally launched as a monthly business magazine, we rebranded as Business Show Media after the rise of the internet impacted magazine sales.
In 2000, we pivoted to the events industry, and since then, our events have grown from 1,000 visitors and 150 exhibitors to 25,000 visitors and 750 exhibitors. We've hosted influential speakers like Steven Bartlett and Lord Sugar.
Today, we operate globally with events in cities such as Singapore, Las Vegas, Miami, and Sydney. Our portfolio includes The Business Show World Series and sister events like The International Franchise Show, Retrain Expo, Going Global Live, and White Label World Expo.
Our next event, The International Franchise Show, will take place in April 2025 at ExCeL London, offering entrepreneurs a chance to explore franchise opportunities. Claim your free ticket now!
For over 23 years, our events have connected thousands of business owners and entrepreneurs with valuable knowledge and insights, across major locations including London, Asia, Los Angeles, Miami, and Australia.
