useful information for BMTA members we would like
your help to identify and share relevant topics, research
on new technologies, techniques, news, events and
publications you think may be of interest to your fellow
BMTA members.
Equally, should your business produce any information
that you would like to share, please submit this to
[email protected]
This new quarterly format has replaced our previous
monthly newsletter updates. Any event communication
in the run-up to any new BMTA events and the monthly
BSI Digest will still be sent out as normal. Please
forward this newsletter on to any other members of your
technical teams who may be interested in its contents.
Please encourage your team and professional contacts
to sign up to this newsletter. It would also mean that
you don’t have to remember to
forward it on.
