MIS events this summer

As we begin the summer term we thought we’d ask the MIS suppliers for list of any events they may be planning for the summer term that they’d like us to share.

We asked for a comprehensive schedule to feature all upcoming events, whether online or in-person.

These could include webinars, in-person gatherings, or exhibitions and conferences where their organisation will be represented.

Below is a detailed list by each provider, but we also offering the following summary table, in date order:

This is what they told us:

As always, we ask all suppliers the same questions and we list MIS supplier responses received in strict alphabetical order:
