11.05am: How to Win New B2B Business on LinkedIn
A practical workshop for anyone in B2B who wants LinkedIn to generate genuine conversations, leads and new business.
Ian Nicklin, IN Social
If you are in B2B and you want LinkedIn to generate genuine conversations, leads and new business, this workshop will show you exactly what to do.
This is not theory and it is not a fluffy “personal branding” talk. It is a practical, fast paced session where I will walk people through the steps, tools and messaging that consistently drive results, even if they are starting from scratch.
You will learn how to:
- Optimise your LinkedIn profile so it attracts the right type of buyer
- Use a simple content approach that builds trust and keeps you visible (without posting every day)
- Start the right conversations with decision makers using outreach that does not feel salesy
- Use tools like Sales Navigator and AI to speed up research, targeting and message creation
- Leave with a clear action plan for what to do next to generate new enquiries
If you want a clear, no nonsense approach to winning business through LinkedIn, you’ll get a step by step process you can implement immediately.
Ian and his team of marketing experts specialise in pipeline building. They generate high-quality, relevant conversations within your target market.

12.00pm: What does AI search mean for your business and what should you be doing about it?
Practical ways to help your business perform better.
Brett Tudor, Founder, Orbital Search
Business owners now have far more to consider than simply “getting to the top of Google”.
Search is changing faster than ever: AI Overviews, AI-powered search tools, increasingly complex results pages, and customers researching suppliers across more channels before they ever make contact.
In this workshop, Brett will cover practical ways to help your business perform better, including:
- What makes a website, its expertise and its content more likely to be understood and referenced by AI-driven search experiences.
- How to build useful, credible content around the questions buyers genuinely ask during a long decision-making process.
- What structured data, strong technical foundations and clear entity signals can contribute.
- Where AI search is currently creating opportunity and where the hype is getting ahead of the evidence.
This isn’t going to be a session full of theory or vague predictions. It will be a practical, commercially focused discussion for business owners who want to understand what matters and what can wait.
With more than 15 years of experience in SEO, paid media and digital marketing, Brett has worked Agency side and directly with businesses from startups to large international corporations to improve their visibility, reach the right audiences and turn search into a meaningful source of growth.
He started Orbital Search with a simple belief: search is too important to be treated as just another service on a long list.
