Members are advised to contact Chris Tams, BPI Director of Members Services, chris.tams@bpi.co.uk as soon as possible to reserve their places, stating which course(s) and webinars they wish to attend.   

Chris Tams, BPI Director of Members Services, comments: “These masterclasses typically meet with a hugely positive reaction from our members, and to cater to this growing demand we’ve been happy to increase the numbers each year. The fact they are free is clearly part of their appeal, but the feedback we receive suggests attendees also really value the quality and breadth of what’s on offer.  Many come thinking they already have a pretty good understanding but leave feeling they have learned something totally new that can only help them in their work.  We invite anyone interested to get back to us as soon as possible to book their place and avoid disappointment.”
