Greater Topeka Partnership Reintroduces Business Expo To Connect And Showcase Local Businesses
The Greater Topeka Partnership is bringing back its Business-to-Business Expo on Nov. 17, 2026, at the Stormont Vail Events Center, creating a dynamic opportunity for local businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations to showcase what they do and make valuable new connections. Early-bird booth pricing is available now through Sept. 15. Businesses are encouraged to register early to secure their space and take advantage of the reduced rate.
Designed to bring local businesses, professionals and community members together in one high- energy, interactive environment, the Business Expo will give exhibitors an opportunity to showcase their products and services, build brand awareness and connect directly with potential customers, clients and community partners.
“Bringing the Business Expo back is about creating more opportunities for our business community to connect, grow and support one another,” said Michelle Stubblefield, senior vice president of strategy for the Greater Topeka Partnership. “This event provides a space where businesses can increase their visibility, build relationships and introduce more people to the products, services and resources available right here in our community.”
The Expo is open to businesses and organizations from a variety of industries, including small businesses and startups, established companies, service providers, business-to-business companies, nonprofits and community organizations.
“Exhibitors will have a dedicated space to promote their business, showcase their products or services and engage directly with attendees and other exhibitors,” said Stephanie Norwood, VP of entrepreneurship and small business at GO Topeka. “Whether they are looking to generate new leads, introduce something new, strengthen their professional network or simply get their name in front of more people, the Business Expo gives businesses an opportunity to make meaningful connections that can support their continued growth.”
Following the Expo, the Greater Topeka Partnership will host a Business Unwind for GTP members and Expo exhibitors, creating an additional opportunity to continue networking and building relationships after the Expo. The event will extend the Expo experience by giving participants more time to connect, strengthen business relationships and engage with fellow members of the Greater Topeka Partnership.
To help exhibitors prepare for the event and maximize their participation, the Greater Topeka Partnership’s Small Business Council will host an exhibitor training on Aug. 19. The session will provide practical guidance on booth design, promotional items, lead generation, networking, follow-up strategies and other ways exhibitors can stand out during the Expo.
