About

The London Evening Standard is the highest-circulating quality free daily newspaper in the UK. An iconic London brand, the Standard's paper, website, apps and live events keep the capital up-to-date on the latest news, business, sport, features and entertainment.

The SME community is in the Evening Standard’s DNA - 75% of London SMEs decision makers read our insights, and they are the backbone of the economy with London SMEs alone representing 24% of UK GDP.

That’s why the Evening Standard launched SME XPO in May 2022. Our vision is to provide the founders and leaders of scale-ups (SMEs) with inspiration, connections, and the partners they need to take their businesses to the next level. We achieve this by inviting world-beating entrepreneurs to share their insights and experiences.

If you’re a member of the SME community, or they are the market you serve, join us for the third edition of SME XPO from 23 to 24 April 2024.
