Join us for an evening of networking and the opportunity to talk with like-minded professionals in an informal setting.
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are designed to give you an opportunity to share best practices, business challenges and learn from others. This is a gathering of people with similar interests together in an informal, friendly peer group setting, facilitated by you and your peers.
This SIG is unique because there will be topics running currently. You will have the chance to participate in 1 or more groups throughout the evening – the choice is yours!
SIG Topics include:
