Dedicated to celebrating and advancing the construction sector across the region, Kent Construction EXPO is the ultimate showcase of this dynamic industry. It brings together professionals from across the built environment for a day of networking, insight, innovation and business opportunities, before culminating in the Gala Dinner – one of the highlights of the EXPO calendar.

The evening begins with an exclusive Drinks Reception, available only to Gala Dinner guests, offering the perfect opportunity to continue conversations and make new connections in a relaxed setting.

Guests will then enjoy a three-course dinner accompanied by live music from Ebonie G and the BBE Band Trio. Performing throughout the Drinks Reception and dinner, Ebonie and her band will create a sophisticated atmosphere with a mix of Soul, Motown, R&B and contemporary classics, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.

Following dinner, James Dowdeswell takes to the stage as this year’s headline entertainment. A storytelling stand-up comedian and writer, James is renowned for his sharp wit, effortless audience interaction and unique take on British pub culture. As seen on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC) and Extras (BBC), he tours extensively across the UK and internationally and is the award-winning author of The Pub Manifesto: A Comedian Stands Up For Pubs.
