WELCOME TO THE ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION
The ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION is a one of the largest business conferences outside of the capital.
With approximately 300 decision-makers, dazzling live entertainment, an extraordinary line-up of talks, Speakers Arena featuring local business heroes TEDx style, a sit- down lunch and ample networking opportunities.
All spiced up with Acumen magic and surprises.
Supporting a different local charity every year, this is a not-for-profit business event which is a staple of the Sussex business community, held every year since 2010.
Throughout the years, hundreds of meaningful connections have been made within the community. There isn’t a convention that goes by without tens of contacts mentioning how they met their best client or supplier at the event and where many new collaborations started.

Retail Giant, Tesco, cannot fire and rehire… Can you?
The Supreme Court has ruled that Tesco cannot fire and rehire employees on less favourable terms. The decision, made in Tesco Stores v Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers [2024] UKSC 28, blocks Tesco from dismissing staff to reoffer them positions without their enhanced pay. The Court, led by Lord Reed, found that allowing such dismissals would undermine the original contract’s purpose. While this ruling enforces contractual intentions, it does not eliminate the fire-and-rehire practice, which can still be used legally if done fairly.
