Five dates across autumn 2027, each a full three-day production in a professional exhibition environment.
The format
Three days. Built properly.

What exhibitors receive
Everything a serious exhibitor needs.
Connection technology
The FairTap™FairTap™Our own techNo paper forms, no lost business cards. A visitor shows their pass, your team gives it a tap, and their details — always with their permission — land in your dashboard straight away. Simple for you, respectful to them.Visit FairTap App.
Every conversation, captured.
FairTap™ is our proprietary candidate connection system. Candidates carry a personal digital pass; your team scans it; an organised, consented lead lands in your dashboard — instantly.
Candidates consent when their pass is scanned. Lead data is held under policy-controlled retention and exported only within data-protection rules — never shared between exhibitors.

The organisation behind it
Backed by the biggest name in UK recruitment events.
The Expos are the premium exhibition division of The UK Careers Fair — the biggest name and driving force in UK recruitment events. For years we've delivered fairs across the country, week in, week out, with deep expertise in candidate acquisition, flawless event delivery, and building the huge, memorable experiences that put employers in front of the right people.
From intimate town-centre fairs to the largest annual recruitment event in the UK, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — run not once, but four times, year on year. This is the scale we operate at.
The biggest audience engine in the sector.
No major provider comes close to our reach, network and marketing — the machine that fills halls with the right candidates. Exhibit with us and you tap the largest audience-acquisition operation in UK recruitment events.
We already work with almost everyone.
Universities, colleges, higher-education institutions and training providers right across the UK — established partners, not cold introductions. When we open an Expo, the organisations that matter already know our name.
Success is engineered, not hoped for.
We run every event on our own data — tracking booking velocity, registration pace and live attendance projections in real time, so we actively steer each Expo toward maximum capacity rather than leaving it to chance. And FairTap™, our proprietary lead technology, is in your team's hands on the floor.
