The Institute

Regional meetings

The Institute's regional programme takes it out of London and into the places members actually work — hosted by the manufacturers, suppliers and contractors who make up the industry.

Published by the Institute · reviewed

Regional meetings are informal by design. A tour of the host’s facility, a technical presentation, and a proper discussion with questions from the floor. They are among the most useful CPD hours in the calendar, and they are where members meet the people they will later ring for advice.
