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 July 28th, and at Barclay Simpson, 1 Temple Ave, Embankment Tube.

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.
For 2009, following agreement on a five year strategy, the London Forum is jointly delivering a "Four Seasons" seminar with the Emergency Planning Society and London First.
Last summer, the Forum began holding a "monthly get-together" on the last Wednesday evening of each month, excepting August & December, where a "subject matter" speaker presents their thoughts on a controversial issue to the assembled audience.
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 in the Forum.
