The Yorkshire Mafia Conference 2012
The Yorkshire Mafia Conference 2012
In March 2011, we took the model for putting together exhibitions in Yorkshire and ripped it up.
YMC 2012 goes further … pushing boundaries again. It’s bigger, it’s better. There are more delegates, more speakers, more exhibitors. Now running for 2 days to cope with demand, it’s the biggest and best B2B tradeshow and conference in Yorkshire by some distance.
It’s something we should all be proud of. The North of England’s finest business event… and it’s here in Yorkshire!
From world-class speakers, to thousands of delegates, to 150 brilliant businesses and some amazing sponsors.
On March 21st and 22nd at The Royal Armouries in Leeds, YMC 2012 we will bring you the best business event in the North of England.
The Amazing Panel Line-up
Humility, humour, learning and sharing are the order of the day. Egos are parked at the door. These panels represent a great opportunity for delegates to get in front of some of the brightest business minds around.
YMC 2012 will see the return of the mighty Billion Pound Panel – a Q&A style panel featuring the brightest business minds in Yorkshire.
We’re also bringing you a panel of procurement professionals who collectively have world class experience of direct and advisory spending of what amounts to a staggering £10bn – Hey Big Spenders!-
I think it’s (The Yorkshire Mafia Conference) great actually, it’s long overdue for Yorkshire and it’s working very well. Events like this achieve a great deal, it’s a great networking opportunity to meet people that otherwise would take you years and years to come across.

The Yorkshire Mafia Conference 2012 Speakers
We’ve got some terrific speakers for you. Without doubt this is the strongest line up of speakers in Yorkshire for years.
No gurus, no self-appointed experts, no sponsorship in exchange for a speaking slot, no paid-for speakers, no circuit speakers.
We’re bringing you some of the biggest business names in Yorkshire.
Here’s the twist. We’re interviewing them, live, in front of you.
For the duration of the interview we’re hoping they will cease to be business leaders for a while and become parents, teachers, vulnerable, real.
We’re bringing you the people behind the brands, the people behind the business…
Social Media
No gurus! Social Media has become perhaps the most important set of new communications platforms of our time. More people visit Facebook every day than Google Search; Twitter has helped to affect regime changes in Africa and Middle East; and LinkedIn has become the de facto powerhouse of online business networking.
We’ve got some incredible speakers for you and not a self-appointed expert in sight.
YMC 2011 was good (great even). YMC 2012 is bigger, better.
The Exhibitors
Why would 150 exhibitors exhibit?
It’s big: We have over 3000 delegates coming through the exhibition halls
It’s cost-effective: You get a lot of bang for your buck. You will pay the same or more to exhibit at a smaller and much less well-attended exhibition
Be seen: Our marketing and PR is your marketing and PR
Narrowcasting: 3000 Yorkshire business delegates. It’s your business audience
Great data capture: Know exactly who has visited your stand and continue your dialogue after the event
People do business face-to-face: If you’re not there you won’t do business there.
Affordability: Prices from just £146/sq m per day
