ASIS Chapter 208 are taking their meetings – usually quarterly, in or around London – to the regions in October: Nottingham on the 15th, and York on the 23rd.
ASIS UK chairman Barrie Millett said: “These briefings are designed to engage with those members who may find it difficult to travel to other seminars, which are held more centrally, and to introduce prospective members to ASIS International. These briefing sessions will, I am sure, be highly useful and informative to those professions engaged in security risk management. We believe the agenda that has been put together by the organising team will stimulate valuable debate with those who are able to attend.”
