BCI Launches BCM World Conference and Exhibition
The BCM World Conference and Exhibition is a major new event which incorporates the prestigious and well established Business Continuity Institute Symposium. Guaranteed to be the networking event of the year, the BCM Conference and Exhibition will offer insight and knowledge to today’s BCM drivers. With high quality presentations and case studies to attract delegates, the conference will ensure a fresh and innovative approach to the topics that are shaping the world of business continuity. It is scheduled for 11th and 12th November 2009 in London, United Kingdom.
Interest from members of the BCI Partnership in this new initiative has been very high and many enquiries from frustrated BCEXPO exhibitors have been taken by the BCI. Lorraine Darke, BCI Executive Director comments, “For many vendor organisations BCEXPO was their main opportunity during the course of the year to gather sales leads, find new customers and launch new products. The disappointment following the cancellation of BCEXPO was palpable and partners and members looked to their Institute to fill the gap. By launching BCM World Conference and Exhibition we are offering an opportunity for the BCM industry to get together, share best practice, network and simply do business. As a not for profit organisation we believe we can offer excellent value for money for exhibitors – this event is “for the Industry by the Industry.”
A major new marketing campaign is scheduled to encourage maximum visitor numbers to the free to attend exhibition. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to hold ‘showcases’ on the exhibition floor, educating visitors and conference delegates about their products and various aspects of the industry. The conference element of the event will continue to reflect the high standard expected from a BCI Symposium including a number of streams consisting of presentations and case studies relevant to those new to business continuity through to the most experienced of practitioners.
