Your career as a proposal professional
Win business, gain support and boost your career

Look forward to a sharp and inspiring keynote as he opens the Proposal Conference with a presentation on three key issues that will ensure more business, greater stakeholder buy-in and career acceleration.
At the Proposal Conference, you will be able to book a free 1:1 sparring session with the professor, where you can get sparring on anything from career, proposal processes or something completely different.
