The 3 Counties Expo was originally launched back in 2016 by the brilliant Debbie Gilbert, who recognised the demand for an event that actually delivered new business opportunities and meaningful connections.
In late 2024, I — Jeremy Freeman — proudly took over the reins, bringing my own energy, ideas and passion for helping local businesses grow. My goal? To continue Debbie’s fantastic legacy, but with a fresh spin that makes the expo even more valuable throughout 2025 and beyond.
Our events consistently attract ambitious, community-minded businesses from across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire — and the feedback from exhibitors and attendees says it all: this is where business gets done.
✅ Stands always sell out – quickly!
To keep things fresh and fair, we only allow two businesses per industry to exhibit. So check availability or drop us a line before booking.
✅ A brilliant mix of industries
From creative agencies and accountants to wellness experts and tech providers, you’ll find a fantastic cross-section of businesses ready to connect.
✅ Affordable rates, real value
We’ve kept stand prices competitive so that small businesses and growing teams can take part without breaking the bank. But don’t delay — demand is always high!
This isn’t just another expo. It’s your chance to be part of a buzzing, local business community and come away with new leads, contacts and confidence.
Gone are the days of just one breakfast session and a quick card swap. At the 3 Counties Expo, we’re mixing things up.
Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to join hourly networking sessions — all hosted by a range of fantastic local networking groups and chambers. Each one brings its own style and energy, so you can pick the sessions that suit you best:
🕒 Speed Networking – get straight to the point with rapid-fire intros.
🕒 One-to-One Rotations – have more meaningful chats without the pressure.
🕒 Relaxed & Informal – grab a coffee, join the circle, and meet people at your own pace.
🕒 Pitch & Introduce – short and sharp intros to let everyone know who you are.
Whether you love the buzz of structured networking or prefer to keep it casual, there’ll be a format that fits your style. No pressure. No awkwardness. Just great people, brilliant conversations and real business connections.
Come for the expo — stay for the networking.
Throughout the morning, we’ll be running bite-size business workshops every 30 minutes — short, sharp sessions packed with insight and ideas you can take away and use.
From AI to marketing, finance to recruitment, branding to IT security — the topics will reflect what’s happening in the business world right now, helping you stay current and competitive.
No waffle. No fluff. Just practical know-how from people who actually know. Drop into the ones that interest you and walk away with something useful.
Our lunch events enable you to network, promote your business and hear top tips from a guest speaker. Check the event you want to attend for details.
