“The business festival is an opportunity for them to shine and to help us showcase the rich and varied range of businesses from many different sectors and parts of Dorset. There are different ways to get involved, from visiting or taking part in the business exhibition and conference to entering or attending the awards.
“I would encourage everyone to get behind this event and help celebrate the exceptional business community we have in the county.”
The conference will have a "future of business" focus with four main themes: Technology, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG); Place; and People.
The festival awards will be free to enter in 10 categories and open to all businesses in the county whether chamber members or not.
