We are delighted to welcome RGS pupils and parents, exhibitors and pupils from a number of Worcestershire schools to our EXPO.
We have lots of exhibitors including 30 Universities represented, so there is bound to be something that catches your eye and encourages you to look to the future.
In Main Hall and Cobham Sports Hall you will find a mixture of exhibitors including Engineering, Finance, Law, Allied Healthcare professions, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Creative Industries, Apprenticeship Providers and Training Providers. There is a list of exhibitors included in this Event Guide including suggestions for questions to ask.
We have a recommended tour time of approximately one hour, so please do make sure that you leave enough time to visit the stands and talk to our guests who have kindly given up their valuable time to support the EXPO this year.
Refreshments will be served throughout the event
In case of an emergency, please follow evacuation procedures which are posted in all buildings and exits. Members of RGS staff will be available to help at any time.
