About this Event
Calling all bid and proposal professionals in Yorkshire! On Tuesday 29th September, our industry comes together for the International Day for Bids and Proposals. To celebrate, we’re hosting a Yorkshire meetup, running alongside the official Bath and Glasgow events.
Join us in Leeds for a casual get-together to swap tips, share stories, and connect with people who truly get what you do - brew (or something stronger) in hand.
Bids n Brews Yorkshire Meetup ☕✨
It's International Day of Bids and Proposals - let's celebrate it in Yorkshire!
Join us for an informal, in-person social - this is your chance to step away from the keyboard, grab your favourite brew (or stronger tipple - we don't judge!), and celebrate our profession with people who truly get what you do.
It's free to come, drop in any time between 3:00-7:30pm, you can stay for the whole session or just pop in for an hour. There's a bar on-site with nibbles, food and drinks available to buy.
Who should come?
The event is open to anyone in the bid profession:
- Bid Managers, Writers, and Coordinators
- Proposal Directors and Commercial Leads
- Freelance bid specialists and consultants
- Anyone working in or around bidding and tendering in Yorkshire who wants to expand their local network!
Why come along?
- Unwind and connect: Meet fellow bid professionals in a relaxed, friendly environment.
- Talk shop (or don't!): Chat about bid life, share wins, swap tips, or just enjoy a natter
- No formal presentations, no awkward icebreakers, and definitely no pitch decks - just great conversation with your peers.
Grab a free ticket so we know you're coming… we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
