Welcome to our September newsletter. I hope you have enjoyed the summer months and are refreshed and raring to go for the rest of 2025.
Our big news this month is the launch of exhibitor stand sales for Anglia Business Exhibition 2026 on Tuesday 9th September. Make sure you are ready to secure your place! You can already view the stand layout on the ABE website so you can decide whereabouts you’d like to be. We are delighted to welcome Fleximize, First Intuition, Gipping Press, Offset Films and Specialist Passenger Solutions as ABE2026 sponsors. There are still sponsor places available though so why not join them and get maximum impact for our 30th anniversary year. Email contact@angliabusinessexhibition.com for more info or read our ABE update to find out more.
This year, we are partnering with The London Business Show which takes place on 12th & 13th November 2025 at Excel London. They will be helping to promote the Anglia Business Exhibition to a wider audience.

Don’t forget our Recommend a Friend scheme, it is great to see ISSBA members benefiting from this. Any current ISSBA member will get one month's free membership for each new member they recommend, plus the new member also gets one free month, so Win-Win! There are no limits to how many referrals each ISSBA member can make as long as you have a current, paid up membership, so if you bring in 12 new members, you'll get a whole year for free!
