The Sussex Business Show
Somehow we blinked and the year is behind us. Particularly when we spent most of the year building up to The Sussex Business Show!
At the end of September (which feels like a lifetime ago now), the Sussex Business Show opened its doors at the Brighton Dome and we had an unforgettable day of connections and learning. The exhibition was a success and planning is already underway for 2025.
We want to thank every one of our attendees for their time making the effort to attend and a special thank you to our keynote speakers and masterclass leaders. Without such attendance and expertise, our event would not have been the show it was. We also need to thank those whose support allows us to run – our exhibitors and sponsors for partnering us for the show.

The Business Show offers businesses the next stage of support on their Brighter Business Path. Once up and running and looking to advertise, business owners can choose to get a stand or attend the famous trade show run by Sonny. These trade shows come with a gamification twist. They are themed to break the ice and revolve around making networking fun.
Our history
The evolution of the Sussex Business Show came from its roots in Sonny’s original business – Network Xpress, or Net XP. growing year on year. But on a cold, wet day in March 2020, lockdown changed everything. The events industry took a monumental hit, as did the income of Net XP, losing 97% of revenue overnight. At this point Sonny had a choice – either close the business and get a job or do something radical and bring to the market a new style of tradeshow.
With a few associated risks, Sonny knew he needed to be bold to make moves with a venue that would deliver an iconic experience in a unique venue. Flo’s reassurances in that conversation sparked a courage that moved the Sussex Business Show to book the Brighton Dome and it is set to be a truly unforgettable tradeshow on the 28th of September 2023.
Those who have enjoyed exhibiting or visiting tradeshows may then be searching for sophisticated and high-level business camaraderie and support.
