Last week, the VisibleThread team had the privilege of sponsoring and attending APMP BPC Dublin 2025 at the iconic Croke Park. As a company founded in Dublin in 2008, it was an incredible experience to connect with so many of our customers, industry peers, and bid & proposal professionals right here in our home city.
Key Themes and Insights
BPC Dublin was packed with thought-provoking discussions and innovative insights into the evolving bid & proposal landscape. AI was a dominant theme throughout the event, with sessions diving into its impact on bid management, automation, and decision-making. One of the biggest takeaways? While AI is revolutionizing the industry, human expertise remains critical in ensuring high-quality, strategic proposals.
VisibleThread CEO Fergal McGovern took the stage with his presentation, Leading with Vision: The Future of Technology, which explored how organizations can harness AI responsibly to drive efficiency while maintaining compliance and security. He also demonstrated VT Writer with live examples, showcasing how it streamlines proposal development and enhances compliance. Attendees gained actionable insights into where AI fits—and where it doesn’t—within the RFP and proposal development process.

Connecting with Customers and Industry Leaders
Beyond the presentations, one of the highlights of APMP Dublin was the chance to meet face-to-face with our valued customers and industry friends. From in-depth conversations at our booth to catching up with long-time users of VisibleThread, we were thrilled to hear firsthand how our technology is helping teams enhance their proposal processes. Your feedback and enthusiasm reaffirm the importance of what we do, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support.
A Global Commitment to the Bid & Proposal Community
Over the last 12 months, VisibleThread has had the honor of sponsoring and hosting events across the globe—from the U.S. to the U.K.—but there was something special about engaging with our network closer to home. The energy at BPC Dublin reminded us why we’re so passionate about this industry and the role technology can play in shaping its future.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue fostering innovation and collaboration at Optimize25, VisibleThread’s flagship virtual event happening later this year. Optimize25 will bring together industry leaders to explore best practices, AI-driven efficiencies, and the future of bid & proposal management. We’d love for you to join us—find out more at:
