Why exhibit at Workforce Innovation Expo.
One day with 750 senior leaders from UK retail and hospitality, all checked before their place is confirmed. There are 50 stands and no more.
A day built around real conversations.
Workforce Innovation Expo brings together leaders from HR, people, operations, IT and technology across retail and hospitality to talk about what they are dealing with right now. Labour costs, productivity, AI and automation, engagement, and finding and keeping good people.
They come to hear from industry leaders, look at the latest workforce technology and meet the companies behind it. For exhibitors, that means a room full of people who are already looking for answers.
Face to face with your buyers.
No time wasted on the wrong conversations. Attendees come on an invite-only basis and are the people who choose and sign off workforce technology at some of the biggest chains and franchises in the UK.
Leaders from these businesses attended.
Hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, fashion, leisure, catering, travel and betting. Everyone in the room works in retail or hospitality.

What you get as an exhibitor.
A vetted audience
Every attendee is checked before their place is confirmed. They are budget holders and decision makers from UK retail, hospitality and leisure, with a real say in what their business buys.
All set up for you
Your stand is built and ready before you arrive. There are only two stand sizes, so the floor stays tidy and nobody gets lost behind a bigger neighbour. You send your artwork and we do the rest.
The event app
See who is coming before the day. The app gives you the attendee list, suggests the buyers who match what you sell, and lets you request meetings so your diary fills up early.
More time to talk
Food and drink are served on the floor all day, so nobody has to choose between a conversation and lunch. The day ends with champagne, canapés and networking.
Six zones, easy to find your way round.
Exhibitors are chosen because what they offer is useful to retail and hospitality employers, then grouped by category so visitors can head straight to what they need.
