JTrade, Britain's only Jewish business expo, is set to return to ExCeL London on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, offering a dynamic platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services while connecting with thousands of potential clients through networking opportunities.
Jewish Business Networking Opportunities
JTrade 2025 is part of a broader ecosystem of Jewish business networking organizations that foster professional connections within the community. The Jewish Business Network (JBN) operates in multiple regions including Detroit, Westchester, and Nassau County, offering regular events to help Jewish professionals develop meaningful relationships and business growth enhanced with Jewish values and traditions. These networks typically feature roundtable discussions, breakfast meetings, and forums with expert speakers sharing business perspectives.
Beyond JBN, other notable networking opportunities include the Asian-Jewish Business Network (AJBN) exhibition in November 2025 at the Marriott Hotel in London, which brings together senior business leaders from finance, property, and law. For Jewish women entrepreneurs, the Global Network for Jewish Women Entrepreneurs & Leaders (GNJWEL) meets monthly to create strategic partnerships and expand businesses globally. Harvard Business School will host the inaugural JSA Conference in April 2025, featuring renowned Jewish business leaders like Ronald Lauder and Irene Rosenfeld discussing resilience and innovation in business. These platforms not only facilitate business growth but also strengthen community bonds during challenging times.

Exhibitor Stand Booking Process
The JTrade 2025 exhibitor stand booking process follows a structured timeline to ensure fair allocation and proper preparation. Prospective exhibitors must submit their application forms, signed general regulations, and a deposit payment (typically 25-50% of the total stand cost) to secure their space. For JTrade 2025, applications should be submitted well in advance of the May 28th event date to ensure consideration.
Stand selection priority is typically given to returning exhibitors, who have first rights to retain their previous locations if applications are submitted by the deadline. New exhibitors are considered after returning exhibitors have confirmed their spaces. The booking process includes several key steps:
- Submit completed application forms through the official JTrade website
- Pay the required deposit to secure your booking consideration
- Receive confirmation of stand allocation and complete remaining payment
- Access the exhibitor manual for technical specifications and regulations
- Order any additional services or equipment needed for your stand
- Prepare your stand design according to venue guidelines and restrictions
Each exhibitor receives a name board displaying their organization and stand number based on the details provided during booking. For maximum visibility and networking opportunities, exhibitors are encouraged to book early as JTrade attracts thousands of business owners and potential clients.
