TEST - Charity Conference and Expo (1)

In partnership with The Business Exchange the Charity Conference & Expo is back for 2022.

The event will be returning to Bath Racecourse on Thursday 19th May. The day will provide opportunities for local businesses, charities, and not-for-profits, to connect, share learnings and growth with far reaching benefits to our surrounding communities.

Our last expo took place in early February 2020, just before the pandemic hit. Following its success in 2020, we are excited to be looking forward to hosting the Charity Conference & Expo once more for 2022.

In 2020, there were over 600 sign-ups to various parts of the day which included a networking breakfast, expo and eight educational seminars. The day created a real buzz with lots of new connections made and a real hunger for growth and collaboration, little did we know at the time what was going to happen next and the challenges ahead.
