KEYNOTE: Pia Lauritzen
Give better answers by asking the right questions
Pia Lauritzen, PhD, philosopher, tech entrepreneur, known as The Question Philosopher and keynote speaker at the Proposal Conference 2026. She explores how the questions we ask (and do not ask) shape our reality.
At the Proposal Conference 2026, Pia will focus on how the right questions can help us create better responses to proposals.
In a world drowning in quick answers (and AI answers), the ability to ask questions precisely, at the right time and strategically is becoming a competitive advantage. Pia challenges our understanding of who actually "has the answers" when a contracting authority seeks expertise in the market to solve a task.
Get ready to gain a new perspective on how better questions can elevate the dialogue, provide clearer clarifications and improve the quality of what we deliver.

TOOL
Structure a library for proposal production
Many organisations have large volumes of content from previous proposals, but in practice, they only gain limited value from it. In this presentation, you will gain insight into how a well-structured content library can make proposal-work more efficient. You will get practical guidance on how to organise and curate your content, so it can be reused in proposals and provide a solid foundation for using AI in future bid processes.

LAW
The repeal of the Danish Tender Act: Scope and risks in the new reality
With the repeal of the Danish Tender Act and its incorporation into the Danish Public Procurement Act, contracting authorities now have a different scope for action. This is particularly true in relation to dialogue, clarifications and evaluation of proposals.
Mikala Berg Dueholm and Anders Nørgaard review what the changes mean for you as a proposal professional. Where is there greater flexibility? Where are the boundaries? And how do you avoid the typical pitfalls, from discrimination in dialogue to clarifications that come too late?

STRATEGY
Negotiation in practice
Gain insight into the patterns that characterise the dialogue between the contracting authority and the proposal professional, and learn how conscious choices in structure, language and positioning can increase your impact.
The presentation combines research and practice, giving you a clearer strategic basis for your next negotiation.

TOOL
Create structure in a complex proposal process
Proposal work can quickly become overwhelming when many people, deadlines and documents need to come together. In this session, you will gain insight into the recurring patterns and challenges across proposals and how a more standardised and digital approach can make the proposal process clearer and more coherent.
