The Business Show London is Europe's largest business event, and the scale did not disappoint. This year’s show was more impactful than ever. With over 500 exhibitors, the show offered entrepreneurs and business owners the opportunity to explore services, solutions, and resources across every sector to help expand their businesses. Companies including Uber, Dell Technologies, Hilton for Business, Halfords for Business, and Constant Contact all came together to support entrepreneurs and growing businesses.

 

Attendees were treated to an impressive keynote lineup, with sessions from Dragons' Den's Touker Suleyman, TikTok sensation Lucie Maclead, Lord John Bird (founder of The Big Issue), and Dhiraj Mukherjee (Co-Founder of Shazam). The show provided numerous opportunities for attendees to pitch their businesses, including highly popular speed networking sessions sponsored by Dell Technologies. The event was co-located with The CPD & Retrain Expo and Going Global Live, creating an even broader platform for business growth and professional development.

 

‘There’s such a buzz in the air - over 25,000+ entrepreneurs, founders and business leaders all in one place, sharing insights, sparking ideas, and exploring what’s next for growth and innovation.’- Soni Panda, Attendee

 

Read on for more about the show, its highlights, and what we have to look forward to at next year’s edition of the UK’s most highly anticipated business event of the year,  The Business Show 2026.

 

 

What Made The Business Show London So Special?

Attendees Found Everything They Needed To Start Or Scale Their Business During…

• Expert-Led Keynotes & Seminars

This year’s keynote and seminar line-up was highly anticipated and attended. The diverse line up included speakers from recognised brands such as The Big Issue, LadBible, Uber, SkinnyDip, and more. Keynote speakers discussed the realities of the current business climate, providing real examples from rich experience. The opportunity to learn from top business leaders, sharing strategies and insights, was enjoyed by thousands over the two days. 

 

A highlight of the keynotes was Touker Suleyman’s Fireside Chat. Known to many as a Dragon on Dragons’ Den, his session was packed with attendees and offered an unmissable opportunity to learn from an industry legend.

 

 ‘With that ends an incredible day at The Business Show London 2025, full of insights, connections, and inspiring conversations. The real spark of the day? Meeting Touker Suleyman in person, so down to earth and genuinely approachable. A true inspiration for entrepreneurs! ⚡️’ - Najla Fathi Sharif, Attendee 

 

 

• World-Class Exhibitors

Our exhibitors showed up ready to showcase their services, products, and problem solves. Attendees could find everything they needed to start or scale their business with the help of our exhibitors. Exhibitors tailored their work to the needs of attendees, showing them the ways in which their services can make a difference.

 

We were happy to host brands such as Currys Business, HelpBnk, Entrepreneur UK, Halfords for Business, MetroBank, and Reed.Ai, alongside many others. 

 

• Networking Opportunities  

The Business Show was the place to be for B2B networking in London this year, with countless opportunities to pitch your business. Whether it was going from stand to stand, chatting whilst waiting in line, or discussing similarities with other people waiting for a seminar, there was a friendly, fun, but focused atmosphere. It’s still clear that the demand for face-to-face networking continues to grow after lockdown. 

This year’s speed networking, sponsored by Dell Technologies, was extremely popular. Attendees could make more contacts in one hour than some people do in a career in an intense session of one-minute mini-meetings. It’s a corporate spin on speed dating and the perfect place to fill your business contacts book. Busy throughout the day, attendees certainly made the most of it!

‘What a successful day of networking and learning at this event. Today, I’ve met many inspiring entrepreneurs and learned new ideas.’ - Nataliya Chernyak, CHI Software

 

• Masterclasses For Levelling Up

The Business Show hosted six exhibitor-led, interactive masterclasses this year, covering a wide range of subjects. They were all available for attendees to level-up their knowledge with hundreds of masterclasses.

[..] It was really nice to see that in spite of the macro narrative, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.’ - James Bates, Speaker
