Chamber Means Business was hosted by Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce.

The event was held over three floors of the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The event brought together procurement opportunities with key public sector organisations from across the region including local authorities, universities and business support organisations.

The exhibition gave delegates the chance to learn more about a new AI Academy – launched by the British Chambers of Commerce and designed to help businesses harness technology to boost productivity and innovation.

Businesses attending and exhibiting at the Expo had the opportunity to showcase themselves live on the radio, with South Yorkshire Radio recording its Breakfast Show from the event.

Exhibitors and attendees had the chance to speak about their business, share their experience of Chamber Means Business and help showcase the people and businesses driving the South Yorkshire economy.

Seminars took place throughout the day.
