Bristol Branch

We have put together a program of events that we hope you will find interesting. You can help to publicise the meetings to everyone at your place of work by displaying one of our posters, or including the details of our meetings on your Intranet.

We always welcome non-members to our meetings, so please bring along your friends and work mates, perhaps they will join.

We are always looking for suggestions or ideas for talks. If there is a subject which you think would be of interest to the members we are always keen for your feedback. If you are working on an interesting project, or you know of someone who is, and would be willing to give a short talk about it we would be very interested to hear from you.

These meetings provide excellent networking opportunities and, if you arrive early, you can take advantage of the buffet whilst networking. The meetings are helpful also in regard to Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Bristol branch is proud to announce the prize winners from City of Bristol College. Our congratulations to Lauren Balch and Phil Jonson.

Currently the BCS Sociotechnical Group has a two-centre lecture series, London and Sunderland. Activities have started to establish a further centre in the South West. This will enable both interested industry and academic bodies to benefit.

Thank you to all the members who completed the survey. We are examining the results and this is proving useful already in planning meetings. I have posted a summary of the results up for you.

Survey Results

If you use Linkedin then there is now a group for branch members. If there is a significant amount of interest then this may become an all BCS members group. To join follow this link

Apart from networking at meetings, there is also the BCS Recuit website. This not only contains a comprehensive list of vacancies, but also advice on job hunting, CVs, interviewing, and career development in the IT industry.

If you are not a member of the BCS and would like to receive information on events please add your email to our list server. Members of the BCS who have specified Bristol as one of their associated branches will be automatically included in email messages sent through the official BCS channels.
