Tuesday 28th April, 2026

Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce welcomed a full room of exhibitors to its recent Somerset Business Expo Exhibitors Briefing, held at Junction 24, Sedgemoor Auction Centre on Friday the 24th of April 2026.

The session brought together businesses from across the region who will be showcasing at this year’s Expo, offering practical guidance on how to make the most of their presence on the day. With the event now just weeks away, the briefing helped set the tone for what is expected to be one of Somerset’s biggest business events of the year.

Attendees heard from event partner Access Displays Ltd, who shared expert advice on creating engaging and effective exhibition stands. With decades of experience delivering display solutions worldwide, their insights gave exhibitors valuable ideas on how to stand out and attract meaningful conversations.

The briefing also provided an opportunity for exhibitors to connect ahead of the event, building early relationships and generating excitement around the Expo itself. The atmosphere in the room reflected strong interest and enthusiasm, reinforcing the importance of the event within the local business calendar.
