Applications are now open to host events at the annual Leicester Business Festival.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the festival during which time it has hosted 938 events and involved nearly 50,000 people.
The two-week B2B festival takes place from November 4 to 15 at venues across the city and wider county and will again feature a lineup of events, speakers, programme launches and networking opportunities.
This year's festival will also raise funds for Leicester Hospitals Charity and will close with a celebratory event, honouring the standout moments and achievements from the fortnight and the last ten years.

Richard Osborn, regional director at Excello Law and chairman of Leicester Business Festival, said: "We invite you to join us on the journey of this milestone festival.
"We saw last year that businesses who submitted their event ideas early on in the process could then promote their approved events earlier and encourage more people to book on.
"Events can take any shape, from intimate workshops to grand conferences, providing businesses with a unique opportunity to connect with individuals they may not have encountered otherwise.
"Whether hosted in-house or at external venues, they are an invaluable platform for networking and engagement.
"Together, let's celebrate a decade of business resilience, ingenuity and community spirit and let's put Leicester and Leicestershire at the forefront of business nationally."
