Chamber to Host Expoventure 2006, presented by Fidelity Bank, on Sept. 21 at Century II

Expoventure, the region’s largest business-to-business trade show, is FREE with a business card and features hundreds of exhibitors, high-profile business speakers and local restaurants and caterers offering free samples through Biz bites.

Wichita, KS – The Wichita Metro Chamber is hosting Expoventure 2006, A Wichita Business Show, presented by Fidelity Bank, on Thursday, Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Century II Expo Hall. Nearly 400 area businesses will be exhibiting at the show with more than 3,000 business attendees expected to walk the floor.

The attendees surveyed at last year’s Expoventure proved this show is all about business. More than 25 percent of attendees were owners or presidents of their businesses, 22 percent were at the vice president or management level and another 22 percent held sales positions. What’s more, nearly 60 percent attributed their attendance to making new business contacts. Other reasons included seeking out new products or services and establishing business partnerships.

Expoventure 2006, presented by Fidelity Bank, is a great way for companies to build their business—helping them connect with key decision makers, find new products and services and develop strategic business partnerships.

Expoventure 2006 is free. A business card is your ticket to the show floor, the seminars presented by two high-profile business speakers, and the popular BizBites (booths with free samples—from local restaurants—to those walking the show floor). The show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 21 at Century II Expo Hall.
