The BCI has announced that it is to run a major new event to fill the void in the business continuity market left by the unexpected cancellation of Reed Exhibition’s UK based Business Continuity Expo. Incorporating the well established BCI Symposium, the new ‘BCM World Conference and Exhibition’ will take place between 11th and 12th November 2009 at the Novotel London West Hotel and Convention Centre, Hammersmith, UK.

Lorraine Darke, BCI executive director comments: “By launching BCM World Conference and Exhibition we are offering an opportunity for the business continuity industry to get together, share best practice, network and simply do business. As a not for profit organisation we believe we can offer excellent value for money for exhibitors – this event is ‘for the industry by the industry’”.

A major marketing campaign is scheduled to encourage maximum visitor numbers to the free to attend exhibition. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to hold ‘showcases’ on the exhibition floor, educating visitors and conference delegates about their products and various aspects of the industry.

The conference element of the event will continue to reflect the high standard expected from the BCI Symposium, including a number of streams consisting of presentations and case studies relevant to those new to business continuity through to the most experienced of practitioners.

In acknowledgement of the current economic situation, the BCI are offering ‘super early bird’ conference rates for delegates until the end of April. Exhibitor rates are also being kept to a minimum with BCI Partners being given preferential booking. For more information, please contact lucy.burns@thebci.org
