2027 Business North B2b Expo Schedule

Full Schedule Coming Soon!

What to expect at the BN b2b Expo

There’s a lot happening over two days at the Business North B2B Expo. Beyond meeting businesses from across the region on the expo floor, attendees can jump into educational sessions covering marketing, HR, finance, legal, sales and tourism, hear from featured keynote speakers, and take part in hands-on clinics throughout the event.

There will also be plenty happening outside of the traditional sessions. Test your skills in the Office Olympics or Closest to the Cup putting competition, stop in for a résumé review, get advice during Ask a Marketer, sit down for a financial audit, or hear directly from buyers during our Retail Buyer Q&A.

One of the biggest parts of the expo will be our Vendor Spotlights. Every exhibitor gets 15 minutes on the main stage to introduce their business, share their expertise or talk about a topic they know well. Spotlights will run throughout both days, giving attendees another way to get to know the businesses in the room.

Come to make connections, learn something new, find your next business partner or just spend a few hours seeing what businesses across the region are working on. With vendors, speakers, clinics, competitions, drop-ins and networking happening throughout both days, there will be plenty to see and do.
