The high-quality content will include:
* One-to-one appointments with suppliers, buyers, investors and advisers

The festival will take place at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, a state-of-the-art event complex on the city’s picturesque waterfront. There will be a rich and varied cultural programme for delegates to enjoy while in Liverpool – a former European Capital of Culture.
Attending the festival is free, but to guarantee entry delegates must register for the online IFB2016 Business Club – a bespoke business matching service (also free).
