Small business owners in Bournemouth, Dorset, can attend a local trade show for free on March 25, 2026. The Bournemouth Business Expo will take place at the Vitality Stadium to help local companies find new customers and learn about modern marketing techniques.

Organised by B2B Expos, the event runs for four hours starting at 10:00 AM. It will feature more than 50 local companies and organisations, including the Federation of Small Businesses and Barclays Eagle Labs.

The day includes speed networking sessions and workshops on topics like digital marketing and using social media to find new leads. Speakers such as Brad Marsh and Arabella Lewis-Smith will provide practical advice on business growth and how to manage company ownership transitions.

While visitor passes are free through Eventbrite, businesses that want a dedicated stall to show off their work will pay £395 plus VAT. Organisers expect around 300 local decision-makers to attend the event to build new partnerships across the region.
