Evening Get Togethers

 

BANG is a get together of BC management people who are entertained during the evening by a "controversial" guest speaker, in a social atmosphere. BC people have an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals. It is held on the last Wednesday evening of each month, in Central London. 
The next BANG evening is on January 25th  The Red Herring Pub, Gresham Street.  There will be no BANG on November 30th due to the planned public sector strike and none in December due to the holidays.

Business Continuity in London

The BCI London Forum is the largest chapter or "forum" within the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) and each year hosts and manages three seminars in London. It is run by a volunteer committee of BC practitioners.

Any professional involved in business continuity, disaster, crisis, resilience, risk, emergency or facilities management with operations in London would benefit from these opportunities to learn and network with like-minded individuals.

Mission of the BCI
  • To define the professional competencies expected of business continuity professionals
  • To provide an internationally recognised Certification scheme for the business continuity profession.
  • To provide a programme of Continuous Professional Development to enable members to maintain their professional competencies.
  • To initiate, develop, evaluate and communicate BCM thinking, standards and good practices
  • To influence policy makers, opinion formers and other stakeholders worldwide in BCM issues
Our Vision and Aims Minimize

The vision of the BCI London Forum is to:

  • Become the recognised leading authority on business continuity related issues within the London area by anticipating future business continuity trends and adapting its workshops and other networking events accordingly;
  • Run events that challenge current thinking, are relevant, informative and accessible to all of those with an interest in business continuity management.

Our aims are to:

  • Increase knowledge and awareness of business continuity management 
  • Increase BCI membership by developing relationships at a ‘grass roots’ level
  • Increase BCI London Forum supporters
  • Run 3 well attended, high quality content, low cost events per year
  • Develop partnerships with organisations with similar objectives

Our strategy to fulfill that vision and complete these aims is here.
