Members are advised to contact Chris Tams, BPI Director of Members Services at chris.tams@bpi.co.uk to reserve their places. Members must state which courses and webinars they wish to attend.
Non-members looking to participate in the webinar on September 29 are also urged to email Tams to confirm their involvement.
“These masterclasses typically meet with a hugely positive reaction from our members, and to cater to this growing demand we’ve been happy to increase the numbers each year.” Chris Tams, BPI Director of Members Services, comments. “The fact they are free is clearly part of their appeal, but the feedback we receive suggests attendees also really value the quality and breadth of what’s on offer. Many come thinking they already have a pretty good understanding but end up leaving feeling they have learned something totally new that can only help them progress in their work. We invite people to get back to us as soon as possible to book their place and avoid disappointment.”
