Special Interest Groups

Please join one of our fantastic Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings! Our SIG's meet regularly and serve as a learning community for like-minded professionals to discuss, share and learn more about relevant issues. These FREE meetings are kept informal, focused and fun! Each SIG is headed by volunteers. Please contact one of them for more information.

To support each SIG and keep the discussion going, our website has set up individual forums for them. Please feel free to raise a topic there, or to add your 2-cents to the issues that are already ongoing.
