WELCOME TO THE ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION

The ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION is a one of the largest business conferences outside of the capital.

With approximately 300 decision-makers, dazzling live entertainment, an extraordinary line-up of talks, Speakers Arena featuring local business heroes TEDx style, a sit- down lunch and ample networking opportunities.
All spiced up with Acumen magic and surprises.

Supporting a different local charity every year, this is a not-for-profit business event which is a staple of the Sussex business community, held every year since 2010.

Throughout the years, hundreds of meaningful connections have been made within the community. There isn’t a convention that goes by without tens of contacts mentioning how they met their best client or supplier at the event and where many new collaborations started.
