Join Vincent Holden, former President of the CIHT (NE&C) Branch and other professionals from TRICS at their first Training and Development Forum.

The event differs from the annual TRICS User Meeting in that it deals with the system in detail, giving non-members an introduction into the system and how it works. For current users and organisations, it will also provide technical updates and a form of system training.

This is the ideal event for both new and experienced TRICS members to attend, as there are forums covering system development and the system’s use, as well as discussions on good practice and the TRICS Bureau Service.

This event to be a technical day, aimed at those interested in how TRICS works and also those interested in providing their feedback and ideas for future system development.

This first event of its type is being held at a unique venue in Newcastle Upon Tyne and it is expected that this event will move around annually to other regional locations.

A free buffet lunch will also be provided for all attendees.
