Quarterly Meetings

During the year, members get together every quater for a full day of presentations, discussion and informal conversation.

At these quarterly meetings, some four people can participate from each member firm. Typically we are some 60+ people from 20-25 firms.

At 8:30 there is opportunity to meet and have a bit of breakfast. Between 9 and 17 there are company presentations, lunch, and ample opportunity for discussion and informal conversation.

The annual membership fee covers all four quarterly meetings, 2-3 focused workshops, as well as access to best practice research, and the online network.

Please contact us for a special offer for a ‘trial meeting’ for up to four participants from your company.
