Introduction
BCS Jersey is an international section of the British Computer Society. Through a varied programme
of events BCS Jersey aims to provide a local organisation for members of the BCS at all levels.
Membership of BCS Jersey provides an opportunity to network and maintain contact with other
professionals and to keep up-to-date with current related developments and issues both locally
and generally.
It is the BCS Jersey's intention to raise the profile of the IT profession
throughout the Island and to encourage and enhance career progression. Both existing BCS and new members are welcome to join BCS Jersey. If you are
not yet a BCS member, then why not join
now?

Jersey BCS AGM
This year's AGM was held on Thursday, 5th June 2008 and we are very pleased to report
that we have a number of new, enthusiastic committee members and that Tim Bullock was
confirmed as the new Chairman.
Next events
The Jersey BCS is working on developing an exciting programme of events for the coming
year. We have no fixed dates yet, but a lot of good ideas and we will publish details as
soon as they are available. For an outline of some of our events, please see our
events page.
Some comments from people attending previous events (see the past events
page for more details) -
- 'Thought the governance presentation was super, just the sort of stuff I'm interested in'
[IT governance - why we need it today, 26 October 2006]
- 'Just a brief note to say that the talk last night was very informative. The presenter's delivery was
relaxed and certainly showed his in-depth knowledge of the subject and his experiences in the industry.'
[Mobile security - the real issues, 15 February 2007]
Committee meetings
The BCS Jersey committee meets on the first Thursday of each month. The venue may vary and
will be advised to committee members in advance of each meeting.
Visiting members should contact the Chairman to confirm the venue and time.
Non-members are welcome at most events, which will normally be publicised on this web site
in addition to the local media in Jersey.
