We'll explore what the most popular social channels are within the public sector versus the channels businesses are most comfortable using. We'll take a look at some good examples of using social platforms and some top tips on what to do versus what not to do!
We'll explore what good engagement could look like, discussing examples of when businesses have really stood apart and some pitfalls to avoid when wanting to promote your organisation to public sector buyers. We'll explore what building your brand means and what buyers look for.
Drawing on feedback from businesses at previous Promoting Your Organisation events, we’ll discuss what support businesses tell us they want and need when trying to showcase their business. We'll highlight also how this can be a very different experience in the public sector from the private sector and give an important insight into how the governance environment can stipulate how public sector buyers look to receive market information both now and under the future regulations.

We often get asked about how to find other businesses to work together with to secure public sector opportunities.
We're putting on this event, dedicated to meeting other businesses who are also exploring collaborative working.
We'll give an overview of the things you might want to consider leading up to becoming ‘contract ready’ in a partnership and we'll explore what the key areas of focus are for businesses wanting to work together to secure work in the public sector.
We’ll explore what the make or break elements are of preparing to work with others.
This highly interactive workshop will be an opportunity for businesses to meet, greet, exchange details and explore how to form new working relationships. Come along and introduce yourself and your business and hopefully you can find new contacts and connections for future work.
