Yorkshire’s premier business event



The Yorkshire International Business Convention (YIBC) has developed across the last two decades to become the leading business event in continental Europe.

The YIBC has delivered global icons from the worlds of business, politics and sport to hundreds of industry leaders from across the UK.

From Mikhail Gorbachev to Bill Clinton, to Kevin Keegan and Andrew Strauss, to his Holiness the Dalai Lama, many a high-profile figure has graced the stage under the prestigious YIBC banner.

In 2013, the YIBC will be held at the majestic Bridlington Spa – and with Tesco supremo Sir Terry Leahy, six-time Paralympic champion David Weir MBE and pop star turned TV science-guru Professor Brian Cox already signed up, it promises to be a resounding success.
