Showcase Your Business at the BIG Event This is your chance to put your business in the spotlight and connect with a room full of inspiring businesswomen. Whether you're just starting out, growing your brand, or simply looking for more visibility, stalls are a fantastic way to advertise what you do while enjoying a day packed with networking, learning, and growth. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, or how long you’ve been going. If you’ve got something to share, then we’d love to have you. It’s all about putting yourself out there, starting conversations, and letting people experience what you’re all about. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what Lynda Walker from Temple Spa Skincare had to say: "It was great to showcase our gorgeous skincare products and chat about hosting a relaxing pamper hour. Attendees loved experiencing the lovely fragrances and textures... I’m already looking forward to having another stall before Christmas!" Imagine having those same kinds of conversations, with real, engaged people who are interested in what you do. A stall at our event is more than just a space to display your business—it’s a chance to connect, get inspired, and enjoy a day of networking and learning.
