BCS Annual Conference & Exhibition - BJCA Joint membership and early bird registration

Some of you may be considering attending this year's BCS Annual Conference & Exhibition. It is always popular amongst trainees, and there is an expectation from our Programme Directors that we attend. The KBA will also take place immediately before the meeting.

Registration is now open and you'll notice that "early bird" fees are applicable on or before 31/03/2010

The standard BJCA rate is £200 which rises to £250 if you don't register in advance.
Full BCS members have free "early bird" registration.

You may be aware that in recent years there is an option for joint BJCA/BCS membership. This currently costs just £100, and in addition to several other benefits, enables you to qualify for this free early bird rate.

For those of you claiming tax relief on professional membership fees you will be aware that BCS membership also attracts such relief which effectively reduces the cost of the whole exercise.

If you have any thoughts of attending the conference I urge those who aren't currently joint members (15 of you!) to have a look here or download the form here

Perhaps most importantly there are a few of you who may still hold single BCS membership or SpR membership at higher cost. I am informed you can email Wojtek Trzcinski and ask for this to be changed.
