Aimed at budding entrepreneurs and established/growing businesses this event - jointly hosted by the South Wales Chamber of Commerce and Cardiff Council - will offer delegates a variety of free breakout seminars and exhibitions, as well as the chance to network and establish new business contacts.

There will also be an opportunity for companies seeking investment to pitch in a Dragons’ Den style event, while new start-up businesses will be able to seek advice from support agencies exhibiting on the day.

In addition, the Capital Cardiff team is looking for up to ten businesses to take part in the Student Session, providing them with real-life challenges that face businesses and encouraging creativity in engaging with those challenges.  

Lastly, there will be a keynote speech from Allister Frost, Head of Digital and Marketing Strategy at Microsoft giving attendees an insight into how to connect with customers and unlock fresh business opportunities through digital channels. Delegates will also be given an opportunity to put a question to Mr Frost during the Q&A session.
