Technical Interest Groups
Ten Technical Interest Groups (TIGs) have been established with the purpose of sharing information and industry-wide learning with maximum effect and efficiency. Details on each TIG is available on the Technical Interest Groups page. This contains information such as TIG leaders and contact details, specific group purposes and objectives as well as workshop presentation slides for each interest group.
