Pitching and presenting, how to win new business again and again, strategies to grow existing client relationships and how to develop the very best creative teams are just a few of the masterclasses, workshops and seminars that you’ll be able to attend at VISION, a major two day creative business conference held here in Bristol. But have you signed up yet?

We’re inviting some of the industry’s top trainers, design gurus, TV heavy-weights and biggest agency brains from across the UK to host a series of sessions at VISION on September 15 and 16.

Over 100 Managing Directors, Creative Directors and senior managers of creative companies from across the South West have already booked up and secured their place. Have you?

The two day event will be jam packed full of inspiring keynotes, sector specific panels, professional workshops and round-table conversations covering topics such as pitching, new business, marketing strategies, growing client relationships, negotiation, developing creative ideas that clients love, right the way through to business growth seminars, writing for tenders, pitches and propoals and how to manage change and growth (without the wheels falling off).

There will also be lots of opportunities to network, meet new companies and exchange industry views and opinions across the two days.

The conference is part of our Business Leadership, Management and Growth programme which has been specifically developed to address some of the challenges Bristol Media members have asked us to help with and focus on.

As a result we’ve developed two major initiatives, culminating in VISION in mid September.

The programme starts very soon with an inspiring talk from serial entrepreneur, Karren Brady on March 2nd where she’ll highlight the secrets of her success, identifying what it really takes to become a successful business leader and what you can do in your business to make a real impact! The talk will then be followed up with three compelling 1/2 day round-table sessions, in smaller groups from March to May.

There is substantial funding available to South West SME’s to enable you to attend the Karren Brady talk, the three x 1/2 day follow up sessions and entry to both days at VISION for just £500 per company (with an extra £1000 grant fuding available).

But places are limited and running out fast.

Good luck, and we look forward to seeing you on 2nd March!
