The 27th annual Bloomington Business Expo is bigger and better than ever. By popular demand, we’ve broken the day into two distinct events – a business-to-business portion and a public event. Most businesses have two types of customers, and Expo will allow you to reach both in the same day.
Business Expo starts the day by getting down to business. From 11am-2pm, Expo is by invitation only. Every business in Bloomington and the surrounding area are invited to attend and receive a free catered lunch from 11:30am-1:30pm. Exhibitors will have only business-to-business traffic so your message can be targeted to a business audience.
Are you a business that hasn’t received your invitation? We want you to attend! Visit bloomingtonbusinessexpo.com and click the green “I’m Going” link to RSVP, or call us at 812-334-4070.
From 3pm-7pm the event will be open to the public. Starting at 5pm, we bring back the “Taste of Expo”, with five local BIRA restaurants providing free food. Great prizes are also available to be won. We’re expecting heavy attendance during this portion of the event, which means your products and services will be seen by a huge number of people.
If you’ve been an Expo exhibitor in the past, now’s the time to come back. If you’ve never exhibited, what are you waiting for? To reserve your booth for the 27th annual Business Expo on Thursday, April 21st at the Bloomington/Monroe County Convention Center visit our website, www.bloomingtonbusinessexpo.com or call 812.334.4070 today!
Thanks for keeping us updated, ISBDC! This is my first year in Bloomington so I look forward to attending the event as a spectactor. Unfortunately, with booth prices starting at $230.00 I don’t think my small, start-up business will be able to be featured at this event. I found it slightly comical that this blog post described it as a “free” catered lunch. It kind of reminds me of paying college tuition, but then receiving “free” computer software on behalf of the university.
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your comment. There is a price to have a booth at the event, but attendance, lunch, and the seminars are all free! I hope you can join us.
When would this event happen again?
April 19, 2012… stay tuned.
