Back by popular demand - join us in Bristol for our SME Event in 2026!

Following the success of our SME meeting in February this year, we will be replicating the event in 2026 with improvements from feedback given by attendees. Although the event will be aimed at our SME members, we welcome and encourage participation from larger organisations as there will be areas for you to get involved in.

The event will allow SMEs to showcase their capabilities through the exhibition stands and the Exhibition manual, which will be sent out to all attendees.  There will be an opportunity to learn from each other through the ‘listen and learn’ session and have the opportunity to have 1-2-1 meetings with larger organisations.
