Founder of The Yorkshire Mafia, Geoff Shepherd, comments: “When we launched the Buy Yorkshire Conference eight years ago we set out to create an event that would bring world leading speakers to the stage, attract some of the UKs leading organisations as exhibitors and bring together thousands of people.
For the second year the event has launched a competition which will see a sponsorship package awarded to two charities. Any registered charity can get involved by simply registering and filling in an online form.
The charity that receives the most support through votes, or that is seen to create the best campaign to raise awareness of its efforts, will win a sponsorship package that includes a stand at the conference, 3 x VIP passes to all speakers, workshops and seminars plus associated marketing.
Speakers taking to the stage at this year’s event will be announced over the coming weeks with representatives from government, transport, travel and digital all set to make an appearance.
