What makes BNX different?

It isn't any one thing we offer. It's the way it all fits together.

Businesses need different things at different times: an answer, an introduction, a practical resource, a fresh idea. BNX gives you somewhere to look, somewhere to ask and somewhere to contribute. The knowledge comes from real business owners and experts, sharing what has worked for them in the real world.

"I flew to England to attend the BNX Ely Expo, but it turned out to be so much more than just an event."

★★★★★
"The Best Expo Ever!!! BNX Nottingham was full of energy, leads, new friendships and a surprise gift on stage for becoming a BNX member! The venue was epic, I am so pleased I stayed overnight so I could catch up with 4N members I had only met online!"

★★★★★
"Yesterday I attended the BNX Ely Expo. I’ve been to a number of business expos in the past, but nothing for a while, so it was great to get back into it. Expos come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from half a dozen stallholders - to vast complexes you can get lost in. Ely was just the sweet spot - plenty of variety and possibilities, but not so much that it was impossible to speak to everyone in the day. So what did I gain from going to the expo? Talking to a number of business owners I hadn’t met before and who might one day be either a client or supplier. Reconnecting with many long standing business friends. Having the privilege of meeting people fact to face. Discussing work with current clients and prospects. Listening to inspirational keynote talks from Sue Marchant and Jonathan James. I also came away with a pile of business cards and leaflets, and they’re not just for decoration."

"I went along to Business Networking Expos Ltd’s first Expo in Nottingham, hosted by Sara Giller & Caroline J Andrew What an amazing day — great keynote speakers, insightful workshops, and a fantastic speed networking session. Thank you for having me; I’m already looking forward to the next one!"

"Busy morning at the BNX Expo in Ely! - catching up with local businesses and networking with new faces… A productive day all round - great conversations and plenty of inspiration.’"

★★★★★
"Popped up to Ely yesterday for the first BNX Business Expo and met loads of really fun and inspiring small business owners. It was my first time going to an expo as an attendee/business owner (as a marketing gal, I’m usually on the other side of the table!) and I had a great time - even did some speed networking which I really enjoyed."
