You can now book online to exhibit at The BIG Futures Show returning on Tuesday 28 April 2026. Book early and save 10% on exhibitor rates. A range of sponsorship opportunities are also available for bigger space and more publicity.
The show that first opened back in 2016 is the largest employability, skills and jobs event in the area and is aimed at students (aged 14+) from across East Sussex as well as parents, carers and anyone looking for work or training.
It provides employers an opportunity to attend a single annual event to engage with over 1,800 young people from local schools and colleges, and to network on the day with 80+ exhibitors. There will also be a dedicated job-seekers corner, with expert help from Recruitment South East, to promote your job and training vacancies for visitors seeking a more immediate choice.
After the 2025 Show, Partner Sponsor Edwards said: “The BIG Futures Show provides a great opportunity for students and young people to meet local employers and organisations, and get a good sense of what the businesses do, and potential future career pathways which is really positive”.
The Show is organised by the Eastbourne Education Business Partnership, a registered charity, in association with Eastbourne Borough Council. The Council, Bexhill College, East Sussex College, Edwards Ltd, Recruitment South East and Wave Active have come on board as early partner sponsors.
