OXFORDSHIRE'S business event of the year, the In Business exhibition, will be held at Blenheim Palace next week.

Organised in association with Business Link Heart of England and the Oxford-based IGW Group, it is the largest and most prestigious business-to-business exhibition in the region.

It will be a golden opportunity to gain some useful advice and network with fellow business people from one of the most economically active counties in the UK.

And just as importantly it gives dozens of organisations a high-profile shop window for products and services.

More than 25 of Oxfordshire's leading businesses are taking space in The Orangery and Spencer Churchill Rooms at Blenheim to meet the county's business community from 11am to 7pm on Tuesday.

A highlight of the event is a series of free seminars on business planning, recruitment and selection, time management and succession planning, being held throughout the day. Each lasts 90 minutes and will allow time for a question and answer forum.

New accounting software is also going on show.

The multi-company version of Sage's Job Costing for Windows allows businesses with subsidiaries to keep track of costs. Miell Computer Solutions, of Banbury Road, Oxford, is showing the software, which is also available from Intelligent Solutions, of the Oxford Science Park.

The exhibition is being organised by In Business, Oxfordshire's leading business and finance magazine, published on the third Friday of every month with the Oxford Mail's sister paper The Oxford Times. For details, call 01865 425534 or fax 01865 425557.
