Conference

The Professional Contractors Group is planning its first annual conference and AGM later this year. It is planned that the event - to which all PCG members will be invited - will take place in a Birmingham hotel on the weekend of October 28/29, 2000.

The provisional programme would run from lunchtime Saturday until early afternoon on the Sunday and would include keynote speeches from leading politicians and businessmen, as well as training and business development sessions and the annual general meeting. It is also proposed that there will be a conference dinner on the Saturday evening with a guest speaker, as well as many opportunities to put faces to the 'user names' and meet fellow members.

We hope to webcast the proceedings and details of an ITT to provide this service are available on the PCG portal; http://www.webtastic.co.uk/portal/ITT.pl?action=Display&ITT;_id=328 http://www.webtastic.co.uk/portal/ITT.pl?action=Display&ITT;_id=329

In order to plan for this event, it would be useful if we could have some indication of likely numbers of people attending. It is likely that the delegate cost for the conference will be in the region of £100 - although we will be able to finalise the rate when we have a clearer idea of the numbers attending.

Further discussions are being held on the PCG Business thread - https://www.pcgroup.org.uk/threads/showpost.pl?f=PCGbusiness/480&p;=0&v;=c&s;=5 - and additional information will be available on a special site and through regular newsletters.

To help us gauge interest at this stage, please reply to this email ([email protected]) with "Interested" as the subject title, if you plan to attend PCG 2000 Conference by 4th August.
