Is a Shell System available?

From 2026 onwards, the Sussex Business Show will no longer be using any form of shell scheme — whether aluminium frames or soft-felt walls.

In previous years, we used a soft-shell cube system that allowed exhibitors to pin up posters and branding, but it also restricted visibility and interaction between neighbouring stands.

By removing the shell scheme entirely, exhibitors will now enjoy a more open, flexible, and engaging layout — with better sightlines and natural visitor flow throughout the exhibition hall.

The best part? The cost savings from this change are being passed directly back to exhibitors, helping keep stand prices competitive while improving the overall show experience.

What’s the Game Theme this year?

This year we’ve moved away from the Casino after two years and we’re giving Retro Games a few spins.

Is it FREE Entry to the event?

This year, most areas are free to attend, breakfast is not free, this is £35+VAT for attendees and £30+VAT for exhibitors for the 2026 show and moving forwards.

Sonny Cutting is an entrepreneur working in Brighton, living in Hurstpierpoint but working all over Sussex to meet new connections through networking events. The Sussex Business Show is one of four unique event services of Network Xpress Ltd.

 

The show is being hosted at the ‘Brighton Dome‘ as this is a new venue destination space for us. We placed the event into Brighton to enable us to gain access to more locally based businesses.

The Tiger’s Pen is designed for start-ups looking for investment, and some Tigers to guide, advise and invest.

This opportunity is for incredible energetic entrepreneurs to take the reins of their business. The new website offers two succinct opportunities for students and start-ups to help grow their business ideas through the website portal.

The Tiger’s Pen awaits you….. Let’s hear your ROAR!

Brighton has 100’s of places to stay, but we would suggest that you stay in a hotel in partnership with us for the show. Hotel Du Vin and Malmaison Brighton based in Brighton Marina which are excellent hotels.

This year with the change of venue to the ‘Brighton Dome’ we have been able to increase the stand spaces a little to just over 80 spaces.

The Directors’ Hub: Founders Support Club is a peer to peer mentoring and support service for businesses looking to scale up in business. Not everyone can join… But to find out more, visit the website and speak to Sonny Cutting.

In most towns and cities there is rarely free parking, and this is the same for Brighton. If you’re travelling from further afield, get the train to Brighton and walk down as it’s less than a 10 minute walk.

If you are driving to us on Thursday 25th September for the Sussex Business Show, 2025, then go to the NCP Brighton Theatre car park in Church Street, BN1 1US from 6:00am – 9:00am and you will be entitled to the early bird rate on the day of £9.95 for a stay up to 18 hours the same day. (Please press the assistance button at a pay station so they can adjust the cost of your stay.)

Upon arrival

At this car park we use barcode recognition technology. When you arrive at the entry barrier, please scan your barcode and we’ll issue you a ticket. If no ticket is issued, please press for assistance. Please keep your ticket safe as you will need this when you’re leaving the car park.

Leaving the car park

At the exit barrier, please insert your ticket for your parking to be validated. Once validated, the barrier will raise. If the barrier does not raise, please press for assistance.

It was my first time exhibiting at a business show and I wasn't too sure what to expect but Sonny and his team exceeded my expectations - even in the rain! What made it truly special was the range of businesses that were exhibiting, all leaning in to the game show theme creating a fun, vibrant and easy way to meet business leaders. I would highly recommended the Sussex Business Show to exhibitors (no matter their size) who would like to make an impact in Sussex and to attendees looking to build relationships with established brands and service providers.

I had a fantastic time at the Sussex Business Show last week! The event was well-organised, and I made some valuable business connections that I’m really excited about.

The variety of exhibitors and networking opportunities were impressive, and the atmosphere was both professional and welcoming. Whether you're looking to expand your network or discover new business opportunities, this event is definitely worth attending. Looking forward to the next one!

I recently attended the Sussex Business Show at the Corn Exchange in Brighton, and it was an outstanding event! The venue was excellent, providing plenty of space for a wide variety of stands and exhibitors. Lots of local businesses giving me the opportunity to network with some great people.

The keynote speakers were a highlight of the day, offering valuable insights into various industries, business trends, and personal development. It was both inspiring and informative. The event was very well-organized, with a good flow between talks and plenty of time to browse the stands.

I’d highly recommend the Sussex Business Show to anyone looking to connect with businesses in the area or learn from top professionals. Looking forward to next year’s event!.

It was our first time exhibiting (we're a digital marketing agency) and we weren't sure what to expect, but the event exceeded our expectations! Organisation wise, everything was great. We had a fairly small stand, but in the middle isle and it has been busy for the full 6h! It was great that once the attendees left towards the end of the event, we kept networking with other exhibitors. The atmosphere was friendly and fun. Time will show if we get any business out of it (which is the ultimate goal), but we have definitely developed some good contacts and raised brand awareness in a fun approachable way (we had a game at our stand). Highly recommended for both exhibitors and attendees!
