State Branch Seminars Prove Their Value

In 2012, itSMF Australia's State Branch Seminars showed a 5 per cent increase in attendance numbers year-on-year as more and more members discovered the value that can be derived from sharing in the knowledge and experience of fellow ITSM professionals.

With seven chapters across the nation each holding quarterly gatherings plus miscellaneous other events, in 2012 itSMF State Branches hosted 30 seminars (including 70 ITSM presentations) as well as 18 Special Interest Group meetings. Each one of these State Branch events offers a tremendous opportunity to make new professional netwrok connections and to reinforce existing ones.

According to Justin Clarke, itSMF Australia's Director, Branch Services, State Branch Seminars are the "grass roots of the organisation" where members and their guests have the opportunity to see and hear about what is happening at the cutting edge of ITSM.

"We have been thrilled with the quality of speakers and lively professional engagement that have become a key component of Statet Branch Seminars all over the country." Clarke said. "Our State Branch committees have really stepped up the quality of their local events over the last 18 months and they have put in place KPI's and objectives to ensure their value will be even further enhanced during 2013.

"In addition to be a fantastic opportunity to learn and meet like-minded ITSM professionals, these regional events are also where all members have the chance to start contributing to the operation of the Forum and the direction of the industry through committees and Special Interest Groups.

"Just getting involved in the conversations at State Branch Seminars, sharing your experiences with others and learning from those around you is also helping to create the sort of collaborative environment that facilitates performance improvement right across the ITSM community.

"If you have never been to a State Branch Seminar, 2013 should be the year that you come along and check them out. I assure you, it will be a valuable experience and one that you will want to continue being part of."
