EVENT DETAILS

Date: Tuesday, 20th October 2026

Inspired by Teesside’s world-famous explorer Captain James Cook, the inaugural Tees Business Showcase & Forum invites businesses to discover fresh opportunities, chart new partnerships and set course for future growth – with sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available now.
Hundreds of delegates, influential speakers, powerful networking and a packed programme has been designed to inspire, inform and connect the region’s business community.

That’s the promise behind the 2026 Tees Business Showcase & Forum – a major new event from the team behind Tees Business, set to take over Middlesbrough FC’s Riverside Stadium.

With partnership packages themed around Captain Cook’s famous ships – Resolution, Endeavour and Discovery – the event celebrates the ambition, courage and spirit of exploration that continues to define the Tees region today.

Free to attend and open to businesses from across the Tees region and beyond, this is an opportunity to embark on new conversations, explore opportunities and navigate the changing business landscape at an event billed as one of the most ambitious business gatherings the region has seen.
