IAP Spring Seminar

The TechCo management team has just returned from the Institution of Analysts and Programmers Spring Seminar, which was held this year at the Museum in London Docklands. The company was august, the presenters erudite and entertaining, the food mouthwatering and the after-dinner chat was scintillating.

As a networking event alone, the price of admission was justified. Where else can you get to sit between Microsoft’s Chief Security Adviser in UK and a Gartner consultant, and argue the toss about the next big thing in IT?

Before the main presentations I was chatting to Peter Green, Technical Director of the Telegraph Newspaper Group. Peter is a Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers, and a rattling good speaker. It turns out that we are in the same business more or less; the only difference is volume, the Telegraph site just gets a few more hits!

The IAP Spring Seminars have become a bit of a do, with some high profile names from the IT industry appearing as guests or speakers. However, tickets are limited and much sought after, so call early to get yours. For more information including cost, timetable and speakers see the IAP News section
