Thank you for your interest in presenting at APMP's Leadership Conference!

Submit your presentation idea for APMP's 2nd Annual Leadership Conference using the form below. This year's forward-thinking conference will bring together leaders and innovators in the bid and proposal industry to explore groundbreaking strategies, share best practices, and inspire growth. With a focus on empowering professionals at all levels, the event will offer sessions on leadership development, team dynamics, emerging trends, and success stories that are reshaping the field. We invite educational breakout sessions focused on advancing leadership skills, exploring cutting-edge strategies, and sharing practical insights tailored to the unique challenges of bid and proposal management. Sessions should offer actionable content, showcase proven methods, and stay vendor-neutral to ensure a balanced, industry-wide perspective. Presentations should not promote specific companies or products.

Submissions will be evaluated anonymously, with a strong emphasis on session descriptions and key takeaways.

The deadline for your submission is December 6, 2025 at 5 PM EST.

All applicants will be informed of the status of their submission - whether accepted or not - by December 20. The final agenda is slated for release by the end of December 2024. Once available, it will be published on the event page and distributed via email.

Being a part of APMP, I get access to the knowledge and experience of great leaders and mentors from the community. I have learned a great deal from the webinars and conferences I attended on diverse topics from career progression in Proposal Management, trends (such as automation) in PreSales to achieving work-life balance, and handling burn-outs – all real-life experiences.

APMP has changed my professional life, elevating it to a standard that I didn’t know existed. Aside from the professional advantages of being certified as an APMP Professional, it’s the community of members who make it so special.

With this micro-certification and digital badge, I signal to my bid team and stakeholders that I am familiar with this topic. They can use me as their contact and "sparring partner," independent of RFPs.

The Executive Summary is the key element of each proposal, literally the most important part of the response next to the price – this is why my focus was on this micro certification. Understanding the principles of Deal-Strategy, Win-Strategy, Competitor-Analysis, Ghosting, Persuasive Writing, Features/Benefits/Discriminators, and many more is essential and beneficial for so much more than just the Executive Summary.
