The Business Show London is back at ExCeL on 11 and 12 November 2026, and Lets Connect will be there. If you are planning your two days, here is one piece of advice before you pack your bag: leave the paper business cards at home, and come and find us at Stand 1502.
The organisers expect around 25,000 visitors and about 500 exhibitors across the two days. That is a lot of handshakes, and a lot of paper cards changing hands. Most of them will travel from a tote bag to a drawer and never be looked at again.

The problem with paper cards at a big show
A show this size is the hardest place for a paper card to do its job. You meet dozens of people in a day. You run out of cards by mid-afternoon, or you carry home a stack of other people's. Then the real work starts: typing names into your phone, trying to remember who was who, and following up before the lead goes cold. Most people never get that far.
The card was never the problem. The follow-up was.
What one tap does instead
A Lets Connect card looks like a premium business card, with an NFC chip and a QR code built in. Tap it on someone's phone and your details open on their screen, ready to save.
- No app. Nothing to download on either phone.
- Works on iPhone and Android. If a phone cannot tap, it can scan the QR code.
- Always up to date. Change your number, job title or links and the same card shows the new details. No reprints.
- Every lead saved. The people you meet land in a list you can follow up from, so nothing depends on your memory.
- Pay once. No monthly subscription for the card.
Three ways to use the show better
- Share first, talk second. Tap your card at the start of the conversation, so the other person already has your details while you talk.
- Capture as you go. Save each new contact on the spot and add a short note about what you discussed. Ten seconds at the stand saves an hour at your desk.
- Follow up within 24 hours. The exhibitors who win after a show are the ones who message the next morning. A ready list of contacts makes that a ten minute job.
