BS 25999 Roadmap for the future
Half-day workshop
21 September 2009, London

BS 25999 has taken the world by storm (not forgetting the disruptions caused by fires, floods and IT breakdowns). It is the fastest selling British Standard of all time and it is likely that you have a copy close to hand right now!

Recognizing the contribution that BS 25999 is making to the development of more effective business continuity programmes, not just in the UK but worldwide, the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the UK Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS) have jointly organized a half-day BS 25999 workshop.

The workshop will provide users of the standard with the means to exchange information and experience and provide feedback on the ways in which BS 25999 might be most beneficially deployed going forward.

You are invited to apply to attend this free informative and interactive half-day workshop in London on the 21 September 2009.

• Enjoy an opportunity to network with fellow BCM practitioners
• Learn about the future direction of BCM standards including an update on current work taking place internationally
• Take part in a forum to provide input and feedback on a range of issues.

We anticipate significant interest in this workshop and we are hoping to attract the widest possible cross-section of users of BS 25999 (by sector, geographically and by level of experience).
