The 9th Annual Social Enterprise Trade Fair is Coming Back to Doncaster!
29th July 2010
The 9th annual Footsey trade fair is the key social economy event of 2010 and the largest social enterprise trade fair in the UK.

Delegates attend from across the UK and are from local authorities, regional development agencies, social enterprises, community interest companies, community and voluntary groups, environmental based organisations and anyone else who has in an interest in the importance of this growing sector.
Footsey 2010 will feature
• More workshops – streamed to help commissioners/procurers and social enterprises
• Question-time style panel debate with national policy makers
• Advice panels, surgeries and one-to-one mentoring.
Comments from 2009:
“What a stunning event. It had all the right people; all the right questions; all the right attitudes and a buzz of enthusiasm that kept going to the very end. As CIC Regulator, Sarah Burgess said to me, ‘this event is always worth supporting.’ It was a delight to be part of your success.”
Robert Ashton, business author and participant at Footsey 2009.
“Feedback from the team was that Footsey 2009 was the best ever, real value. We will continue to be ambassadors for the conference as you keep the quality bar high in all your activities. Well done...and we wish you much more success!”
Todd Hannula, CEO, Camberwell Ltd.
Costs for both exhibiting and attending Footsey are heavily subsidised. Feedback from previous attendees has been overwhelmingly excellent. Coming to Footsey is an investment that will generate a return!
