Discover Richardson at the Business Trade Show

The membership campaign in April pushed the number of exhibitors in the Business Trade show on May 29 to over 140 booths. The trade show, presented by title sponsor Opportunity Bank, will feature a combination of long time and new members, feature presentations on key business topics, and be a tremendous opportunity for the members to showcase their products and services to the community.

The Trade Show will be held at the Richardson Civic Center from noon – 7 p.m. The show is open to the public for a $5.00 admission fee. Food, refreshments and door prizes will be provided throughout the day by local restaurants and businesses.
