Running an independent exhibition business can mean constantly focusing on the next launch, the next edition and the next commercial target, without always stepping back to consider where you actually want the business to go.

Whether you're building a new show, looking to scale an established portfolio, considering investment or thinking about an eventual exit, this session gives independent organisers the opportunity to put their questions to experienced industry leaders and experts.

Choose the path that reflects where your business is today and get practical insight into the challenges, opportunities and decisions that come with each stage, from proving a new concept and building a scalable business to preparing for investment, succession or a sale.
