A Learning and Networking Experience from UKITA CSW – and the Annual General Meeting - UKITA Coventry Solihull & Warwickshire Branch Event
HTI, Herald Court, University of Warwick Science Park, Sir William Lyons Road, Coventry CV4 7EZ -
Wednesday June 9th 5.15pm- 7.15pm
Directions: http://www.hti.org.uk/pdfs/ab/Howtofindus.pdf
The Post Recession business climate presents lots of opportunities and it will be vital to take advantage of them while controlling cost.
This event is designed to give you a range of tips and techniques you can use to increase your sales but without reaching for the cheque book. It provides a unique two-for-the-price-of-one feature: at the same time as discovering how to increase your sales, you will be networking with your fellow UKITA members and guests.
The session will be highly interactive so come along prepared to network, make new contacts and share your ideas.
This meeting will be followed by the Coventry & South Warwickshire branch Annual General meeting, at 6.45pm.
This event commences with light refreshments and registration from 5.15pm, followed by an hour and a half of great networking brought to you by Phil Ingle from ProfitAbility Training and Helen Brewster from ATL Solutions.
Helen and Phil are UKITA members who met while Networking and have worked together ever since – proving that networking really does work!
What people thought of our past events:
• Since attending the networking event I have made more effort with the elevator pitch and am more concise when describing what I do. It was good to practice this and get the feedback.
• A variety of “networking ‘practice’ activities” were included which involved interacting with other delegates. During these sessions, I realised that my company could provide services which would solve a number of issues these delegates were encountering.
• I listen more to people I interact with, have stopped ‘reloading’.

UK & EU SMEs poised to profit from RFID technology - UKITA selected as UK delivery partner
The European Commission wants to boost the adoption of new technologies by small and medium-sized companies.
A new project promises to measure the return on investment in RFID for SME's - RFID-ROI-SME Project (www.rfid-roi-sme.eu)
A new EU-funded project, which started in April 2010 and runs for two years, will help European SMEs in understanding and fully leveraging the potential benefits of RFID technology. RFID systems allows automated real time data collection without physical or line of sight contact, using radio frequency identification of tags.
Managed by the UEAPME (the European craft and SME employers’ organisation) the “RFID-ROI-SME” project will deploy and co-ordinate eight pilots targeting multiple sectors across six European countries, including the UK through UKITA – The UK I.T Association (www.ukita.co.uk).
The main goal of the project is to boost the adoption of RFID technology by SME communities, while at the same time creating business opportunities for innovative RFID solution providers within the EU. The aim is to demonstrate tangible benefits of RFID technology across many different sectors and business cases. These benefits will then be disseminated to wider SME communities in the form of case studies, best practices and blueprints.
