BANG is a get together of Business Continuity management people who are entertained during the evening by a "controversial" guest speaker, in a social atmosphere. It is FREE and held on the last Wednesday of each month, in Central London.

This month's speaker will be risk management practitioner, Gareth Jones with an activity: "D'oh!" - learning from incidents, events and crises.  Do we learn?  Is it all hit and miss?

We will discuss the best "D'oh!" examples. 

BC people have an opportunity to network with like-minded individuals. Numbers are limited to the first 70.
