Even though it’s across the Pennines, as North West-based B2B PR practitioners, we were delighted to see that the north’s largest B2B event (and one of the UK’s) will be hosted in Leeds in May 2014.

The Buy Yorkshire event which expects to attract over 4000 attendees will bring together executives and stakeholders from the business community to meet, network, share experience, learn, build relationships and ultimately trade.

The event will feature varied, informed and challenging views, seminars and panel on a range of topics that reflect what’s going on with the economy and with your business.

Also featured at the event will be The Billion Pound Panel which will be run in the style of BBC’s Question Time and will invite members of the audience to quiz some of the UK’s leading business figures.

We think it’s great to see an event focused purely on how businesses can work with and help each other and would love to see a similar event in Manchester in the future.
