BOOKINGS are now open to exhibit at The BIG Futures Show, returning on Tuesday, 28th April 2026. A range of sponsorship opportunities is also available for those looking for larger spaces and increased publicity.
First launched in 2016, the BIG Futures Show is the area’s largest employability, skills and jobs event. It is aimed at students aged 14+ from across East Sussex, as well as parents, carers, and anyone seeking work or training.
The event offers employers a unique opportunity to meet more than 1,800 young people from local schools and colleges in a single day, alongside networking with over 80 exhibitors. A dedicated job-seekers corner supported by Recruitment South East will help promote your job and training vacancies to visitors looking for immediate opportunities.
Following the 2025 show, Partner Sponsor Edwards commented:
“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. Early partner sponsors include Eastbourne Borough Council, Bexhill College, East Sussex College, Edwards Ltd, Recruitment South East and Wave Active.
