AN EXCITING week of business events organised by the ECHO will return this June. The third annual BusinessLIVE will combine an exhibition, seminars and awards, and will be a must for anyone involved in business in the north west. Companies and organisations across Merseyside are gearing up for the beginning of one of the most important and dynamic business weeks. And this year will be an extra special event as the ECHO's sister paper the Daily Post celebrates its 150th anniversary. The main attraction of BusinessLIVE is the two-day BusinessEXPO 2005, which once again will take place in City Exchange on Old Hall Street. The exhibition will play host to approximately 60 exhibitors, and will provide a platform for companies to demonstrate their products and services. Incorporated into this is a two-day seminar programme, which promises to deliver much valued business insight and advice from top industry professionals. ECHO acting editor Jon Brown said: "Each year BusinessLIVE gets better, with more companies benefiting from this unique opportunity. "As our newspaper passes this landmark anniversary, we are delighted that Merseyside's dynamic business community will be helping us celebrate." BusinessEXPO will again feature the highly demanded seminar programme presented by industry's top gurus. It will allow men and women from across the business community to network, source products and get business advice. Businesses will also be able to pitch themselves at potential clients and customers and asses their competition. They will be able to launch new products in the region, build brand aware-ness of existing ones, and position their products as market leaders. Exhibitors will be able to take advantage of an audience where four in five people are involved in buying their products. Some of the most relevant issues facing businesses across Merseyside will be examined by a programme of seminars featuring an impressive list of speakers. On June 14, an expert from the Dale Carnegie institute will give a master-class on public speaking, sponsored by Viacom Outdoor. Steven Hennessey will be following the techniques that Carnegie perfected for turning anyone into an accomplished speaker. |
