800 businesses and 2,000 people take part in 2023 Leicester Business Festival
Organisers of 2023 Leicester Business Festival said 800 businesses took part this year with some 2,000 people joining events in person and online. The annual celebration of business ended on Friday following a fortnight of networking, presentations, fundraising and workshops.
The organisers said it was the region’s biggest business event and one of the UK’s biggest business festivals, and said early feedback suggested that the vast majority of attendees rated the events they took part in as good or excellent.
One of the biggest impacts already from the festival was money raised from a #BossBreakOut event for Leicester Hospitals Charity. The unique fundraiser saw 12 of the city’s business leaders, CEOs and directors ‘locked in’ a pop-up shop in Highcross which was created by the hospitals charity.
