GTApreneurs BizX 2026 Business Expo and Conference promotion

What is a business expo? Our business expo includes many small business owners and self-employed professionals displaying their products and services at booths. They may have a banner, business cards, brochures, swag and other items and they greet guests as they walk around the room.

Who are the guests? GTApreneurs’ Business Expo guests are also small business owners and self-employed professionals who are looking to gain new clients and referral partners and promote their businesses. They walk around the expo to meet the exhibitors and learn about their businesses, while also introducing themself and their business.

GTApreneurs BizX 2026 event also includes a 2026 business conference, which features several Speakers who are experts in helping businesses grow. BizX conference guests can enjoy a free continental breakfast, lunch and the expo with their VIP ticket. This premium business expo and conference only comes around once a year. Join us to take part in a unique experience to gain practical knowledge from Industry Experts and meet hundreds of potential clients and referral partners.

Having your banner visible throughout the tradeshow at your vendor table and your logo and information displayed on our slide reel throughout the morning networking and afternoon portions of the event are great ways to get known in the GTA business community. Plus when you exhibit, our guests will visit your booth and give you their business card, so you don’t miss out on talking to anyone at the event.
