Dear CPD community,
We hope this email finds you well.
We are gearing up for the BISA 2022 Annual Conference. This will be the first face-to-face conference in the past two years,
so we are keen to reconnect with as many of you as possible in-person. This year, we are pleased to host several exciting panels and events on the programme. Our working group will host an impressive 15 events including two panels via the virtual stream on
Tuesday 14 June, followed by 7 roundtables and 6 panels during the face-to-face conference at the Civic Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne from
Wednesday 15 to Friday 17 June. Please do

the Conference.
The CPD business meeting will take place in-person during the BISA Annual Conference on
Wednesday, 15th June at Stephenson, Civic Centre from
12:15 to 13:15. We have also set up a zoom meeting for those who cannot be there in-person:

We hope as many of you as possible will attend, as it’s a chance to meet up as well as
raise any suggestions you may have with fellow members and co-convenors. If you have any items for the agenda, please send them to our email:
[log in to unmask] by
Friday 10 June 2022. We will then collate them and send the agenda to you in the days before the meeting.
