Britain's biggest regional business event is finally set to return in May after being forced to cancel for two years due to the pandemic.
Business Vision Live is expected to draw more than 3,000 people when it returns to the Kent Event Center in Detling.
And organizers say they hope the free-to-attend, one-day B2B event will generate between £20m and £25m of business for participants.
This year, the extravagant networking extravaganza, originally known as Kent Vision Live, celebrates its 15th birthday. Its name has been changed to reflect that it now attracts a wider audience from across the Southeast.
This year's program, held in partnership with Kent County Council, KM Media Group, Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, SELEP and others, will include an opening keynote address from the BBC's Ben Thompson.
