REPORTS - Chair• As a volunteer organisation with a naturally restricted pool of
potential members, we have focused on things that make us distinctive.
• We have also explored options to increase our presence and hope to act on some of those in the coming year.
• In 2011 the committee worked together to create a 3 year strategy for our section centred around an informal lecture series:– 2012/2013 Financial Services & IT– 2013/2014 Healthcare & IT– 2014/2015 Manufacturing & IT
• This year has seen 5 very successful and enjoyable talks on themes ranging from data security to speculation on what the future will bring. Great attendance with momentum building following each lecture.
• Attendance for each lecture (1-5) Attendees / BCS members:- Lecture 1 (26/11), L2 (24/21), L3 (28/10), L4 (32/12) & Lecture 5 (42/11)
• Lecture series attracting well respected speakers such as Prof. Wesley.
• Looking forward to the coming year and the new lecture series.
