Following two highly successful years, the Elevate your Business in Wrexham Conference returns on Friday 6 November 2026 at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse.
What happens at the conference?
This free event brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals and decision-makers from across the county for one of North Wales’ leading business events.
Now firmly established as Wrexham’s flagship business conference, attendees will be provided with a day of inspiration, practical insights, valuable networking opportunities and updates on some of the exciting projects helping to shape the county’s future.
Whether you’re launching a new venture, growing an SME or leading an established organisation, the conference offers a unique opportunity to gain fresh perspectives, build valuable connections and discover new opportunities for growth.
Hear from established entrepreneurs
This year’s conference will feature keynote presentations from Jamie Murray Wells OBE, founder of Glasses Direct and one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, alongside Jo Fairley, co-founder of pioneering organic chocolate brand Green & Black’s and a leading voice on entrepreneurship, branding, marketing and corporate responsibility.
Talks from local businesses and projects
Delegates will also hear directly from successful local businesses, gaining first-hand insights into their growth journeys, investment programmes, innovation and future ambitions.
Updates will also be provided on major developments affecting Wrexham’s economy, including regeneration projects, investment opportunities and the City of Culture 2029 bid.
