BMF Technology Forum - Spring
The Forum programme will cover a range of technology topics that we feel would be top of most merchant, supplier and service members' minds.
The Forum will be chaired by Technology forum Chairman, and is open to both Merchants and Suppliers. It is a great networking opportunity and is restricted to a maximum of 2 people per organisation, with ideally one of them being a Director or Manager.*
