Huddersfield Business Week is back once again, and it’s time to plan!
As the business week gets closer, you will need to start organising as soon as possible if you’re hosting an event.
First things first, will it be virtual or face-to-face?
With the virtual event market booming, you can host your virtual events on platforms such as Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Depending on your event type and size, you may want to use platforms such as Eventcube, Filo, Airmeet, Accelevents, vFairs, Intrado, Hopin, ON24, or Bizzabo.
If you’re looking to keep it traditional with government guidelines easing, Huddersfield Business Week has received an encouraging amount of support from organisations across Huddersfield, offering event space either free of charge or at a discounted rate from 4th – 8th October.
We have put together a list of venues and their offers below.
