Coming of Age: APMP UK Conference 2019

The APMP UK Annual Conference offers unparalleled access to hundreds of bid and proposal management professionals - from independent consultants to multi-national organisations. It’s a huge opportunity to make connections, share knowledge and be inspired by presentations from some of the profession’s experts.

It is 18 years since APMP UK was established! This year’s theme, 'Coming of Age', will mark this achievement as we consider the future development of the bid and proposal profession - reminding us all that real change starts from within.

We will explore three fundamental areas driving this development:

• Leadership: becoming effective bid and proposal leaders; establishing and growing a bidding capability and defending its existence in the face of cost-cutting pressures; recruiting and developing bidding professionals; and leading centralised vs dispersed bid teams.
• Professional Development and Personal Growth: developing ourselves and others; exploring career pathways in the bid and proposal profession; the merits of self-help, mentoring and training; and promoting resilience and mental wellbeing.
• Emerging Technologies and Techniques: identifying new approaches to bidding that reflect changing technology, markets and attitudes and how we can use them to our advantage in the pursuit of winning more business.

The APMP UK Annual Conference has become Europe’s premier event for bid and proposal professionals. There are take-aways for everyone - from people at the very beginning of their career to executive leaders.

• Discover new trends and ideas from thought-leaders to sharpen your competitive edge.
• Networking opportunities will raise your profile and promote your career development.
• Exhibitors showcase the latest products and services that can generate a competitive advantage for your business.
• Recharge your batteries and connect with friends and colleagues.

Compared to the cost of attending a training course, APMP UK’s Annual Conference represents excellent value for money.
