Construction & Engineering

With a lot of construction happening as businesses start and expand, we also have numerous construction, engineering, and building experts join us at Business Expo West. It is an industry that continuously joins forces on projects, so it makes sense why business trade shows are optimal places to network. As with all other businesses, construction and engineering firms need services from B2B support companies.

Non-Profits & Faith-Based

Finally, we have many non-profit and faith-based groups that attend Business Expo West, since their needs for financial, print, and multimedia is similar to for-profit businesses.

Additionally, since many of these non-profit and faith-based groups exist to help people in our community, they often appreciate working with local small businesses who have similar goals. Many successful community projects involve for-profits and non-profits coming together to assist community members. An example are times when community members in need wouldn’t otherwise be able to purchase important quality of living products.

Networking Opportunities

We foster quality networking time in addition to traditional sponsor-hosted tables, allowing you and your business numerous opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals as well as network with potential clients and providers.
