Registration has opened for a new Tees Valley business event bringing exhibitors, practical workshops, speakers and networking together at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium.

The inaugural Tees Business Showcase & Forum takes place on Tuesday 20 October. Organisers expect hundreds of delegates, with more than 40 organisations already confirmed to exhibit and capacity for up to 60 businesses across three hospitality suites.

The day is split into morning and afternoon programmes, each with different content. Both will include a keynote speech, an expert panel, specialist workshops and dedicated time to meet exhibitors and make connections.

The first announced workshops cover leadership and improvisation, workplace culture, digital marketing and using safely in business. More speakers, panellists and sessions are due to be announced as the programme develops.

The Showcase opens at 8.30am, with the morning Forum programme beginning at 9.30am. The afternoon programme starts at 12.30pm. Free on-site parking is available and delegate registration is now open.
