With only about a month to go, the countdown for Riviera Connect is truly on. The event, which is returning to the Riviera International Centre in Torquay on 17th October, is organised by the Torbay Business Forum and the English Riviera BID Company.

Riviera Connect aims to inspire and energize businesses across the English Riviera, bringing together leaders in business, tourism, and hospitality for a day of networking, learning, and innovation.

The event runs from 9.30am to 5pm, with free admission and parking courtesy of Ocean BMW. Attendees can explore exhibitors showcasing innovative products and services, hear from distinguished speakers, and participate in engaging workshops.

Highlights include a keynote by Brendon Prince, 9x SUP world record holder, and insights from Carolyn Custerson, CEO of the English Riviera BID Company and motivational speaker Jess Wiggins will also join us, providing invaluable insights into personal and professional development.

With support from sponsors like Gold sponsor Bigwave Marketing, Silver sponsors Insignia Creative, Wollens and South Devon College and Bronze sponsor Konsileo, Riviera Connect promises to be a celebration of collaboration and innovation. Additional partners include Torbay Weekly, Enlighten HR, Print TQ, and Poppy Jakes Photography. Sponsorship packages are still available.

As the day concludes, unwind and network with drinks provided by Bays Brewery, Hunts, and Sandridge Barton from 4pm onwards.

Carolyn Custerson, CEO of the English Riviera BID Company said: “The English Riviera BID Company is delighted to be working with Torbay Business Forum once again to deliver the second.

"Tourism and hospitality businesses will find plenty to inspire them at this year’s event, which is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. What a great opportunity for English Riviera business, tourism and hospitality to connect and grow together – we can’t wait to see everyone there.”
