After the success of Expo ’25, which attracted around 500 delegates and over 50 exhibitors, the West Kent Expo is back for 2026 - bigger, more diverse, and designed to bring the business community together.
Join us at the West Kent Expo'26 on Wednesday 11th March 2026, bringing together local businesses, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals for a day of networking, inspiration, and opportunity.
Whether you're looking to grow your business, make valuable connections, or explore local services, this event is the place to be.
This year, more than 50 local businesses from across West Kent and beyond will come together to showcase innovation, share expertise, and create opportunities for growth. Whether you’re a start-up, an established SME, or looking to launch a new idea, the Expo is your chance to connect, learn, and get inspired.
