IT Division: Accelerating Your BD Success in 2026

Join your Divisional Director, Simon Topps, for your first full divisional networking meeting of the year

Accelerating Your BD Success in 2026

The IT market is already gathering pace in early 2026 and this session is about making sure you’re set up to move faster, smarter, and more commercially.

Based on recent member feedback, Business Development remains a key focus not because it isn’t working, but because recruiters want to refine their approach, adopt new techniques, and maximise opportunity as activity increases.

This session will be a practical, collaborative discussion focused on:

• BD strategies that are gaining traction right now
• New techniques recruiters are using to open doors faster
• How candidate attraction and BD work together in a busier market
• Where small changes can unlock disproportionate commercial returns

This interactive session will explore what’s landing right now across the market, how BD, candidate attraction and positioning intersect, and where small tactical shifts can drive meaningful results.
