Exhibit at FSB Essex's inaugural Small Business Bootcamp.

**Exhibitor Stands are now SOLD OUT**

To mark the 50 year anniversary of FSB, we're helping small businesses from across Essex to make their business count with our very first Business Bootcamp. Brought to you by NatWest:

Held at the University of Essex's landmark building of The Essex Business School, with a unique indoor winter garden, the day will be packed full of panel discussions, workshops and opportunities to network - all designed to help you make your business count.

As part of the day, we have a limited number of exhibitor opportunities available – giving you the chance to be part of FSB’s first bootcamp in Essex and to get your brand in front of local SMEs.

Standard Stands are priced at £75.00 + VAT for FSB members and £85 + VAT for non-members. Your package includes:

  • One 5ft table and 2 chairs. Please indicate when booking if you need a power supply - we will try our best to accommodate any power supply requests, but it is not guaranteed. We will update you before the event.
  • Promotion across FSB Essex social media channels
  • Tea, coffee, and biscuits in the morning for two people
  • A buffet lunch of sandwiches and crisps for two people. Please provide dietary requirements for both attendees, as the ticket for an exhibition stand includes two guests.

We also have a very limited number of small stands within a booth in the Winter Garden available for FSB members only at £37.50+VAT. These stands also include promotion, tea & coffee and a buffet lunch.
