Devon’s premier Business Show returns to Plymouth Life Centre on Wednesday 14 October, bringing the county’s business community together under one roof for a day of connections, ideas and opportunities.
After welcoming a record number of attendees last year, we’ve already had hundreds of businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs from across the county and beyond book their tickets to join us.
Explore exciting, innovative and interactive displays from local businesses, meet potential partners, suppliers and customers, and see what’s new for 2026, all at a Show built around inclusivity.
This year’s Show will also see the launch of our Global Devon Strategy Pillar, so you’ll be among the first to hear what it means for businesses across the region.
Make a morning of it with our Networking Breakfast at Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park. It’s the perfect way to start your Business Show day, with the chance to connect with likeminded people who are passionate about business and what Devon has to offer.
