The first Buy BVI trade show was held in 1997 by the joint efforts of the BVI Chamber of Commerce and Hotel Association (BVICCHA) and the Trade Promotion Unit, Government of the Virgin Islands. The Buy BVI Trade Expo has evolved into an exceptional platform that showcases the breadth and depth of Virgin Islands businesses. The event serves as a catalyst for economic growth by promoting business to business and business to customers engagement.   
 

There has not been an annual Trade Expo since 2017 and the last show attracted almost 70 businesses. There has been keen interest in its return, and we expect a significant increase in exhibitors and public participation.  This year’s event is scheduled for 20th – 21st October 2023 at the Multipurpose Sport Complex and businesses are invited to register as an exhibitor and/ or sponsor to help make its comeback a huge success. This year’s theme is “Celebrating the Virgin Islands’ Entrepreneurial Spirit.” Interested persons can register online at www.bviccha.org/events.  
 

The BVICCHA is a non-government, not-for-profit organization that has been the voice of business for 54 years and supports the business community through advocacy for a business-friendly environment, training resources, and networking events that empower, educate and equip businesses for their success.
