Panel breakout sessions

We have three great breakout sessions for you to sign up to on the day:

MTB panel sessions table

Hear directly from major contractors and industry partners shaping construction delivery across Yorkshire and the Humber. These panels will provide insight into upcoming civils and building trade demand, how suppliers can stand out, and what drives long‑term supply chain relationships. Contractors will share practical guidance on engaging successfully, overcoming onboarding challenges and securing repeat work, while education and skills partners will explain how apprenticeships, T Levels and work experience can strengthen bids and social value. Featuring contributors from Octavius, Galliford Try, Kier, Henry Boot Construction, Wates, Morris and Spottiswood, and leading regional colleges, this is a must‑attend opportunity for SMEs looking to grow and expand their businesses.

There’ll be a collection point at the YORscep Meet the Buyers 2026 event and we’re asking YORhub, our framework contractor representatives and event attendees to contribute non-perishable items during the morning for the charity to take away around midday. If you can liberate a few items of food from your cupboards to bring along that’d be really appreciated.
