Tonbridge businesses are being invited to register for West Kent Expo 2026, a major networking and business support event taking place in the town this March.
West Kent Expo’26 will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, and is being promoted as a practical day for businesses across Tonbridge and West Kent to make new connections, meet suppliers, and explore opportunities for the year ahead.
The event is aimed particularly at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and will bring together a wide range of local businesses, services and support organisations in one place. Organisers say the day is designed to help businesses build momentum for 2026 through networking, conversations, workshops and activities running throughout the event.
Those attending will have the opportunity to:
- meet local businesses, services and suppliers
- make new connections and re-establish existing ones
- discover local support, resources and opportunities available to SMEs
- gain ideas and inspiration for the year ahead
Businesses can register to attend via Eventbrite, with further information available through West Kent Business, which is promoting the event. Registration and attendance is free and the event will be taking place in central Tonbridge at The River Centre on Medway Wharf Road.
As part of the Expo, organisers are also launching a dedicated entrepreneur area called The Enterprise Hub. This space is aimed at start-ups and early-stage or fledgling businesses, giving them the chance to promote what they do and build confidence, visibility and new professional connections.
The Enterprise Hub is designed to support new businesses in Tonbridge and the surrounding area by offering a platform to showcase their services and engage directly with other companies and potential partners.
Businesses interested in being considered for a place in the entrepreneur area are being asked to contact the organisers by email at expo@gll.org.
More details about West Kent Expo 2026 and registration information are available on the West Kent Business website.
