BID Network Activity - Forthcoming Events

The experience built up by our members is a fundamental part of the UKBIDs Knowledge Bank, and the best way to learn from one another is through regular membership events. The BID Network Exchange is an active network representing all areas of the UK, and providing members with a chance to meet regularly, share successes and find solutions to problems. Members can also contribute to on-going debate online through the BID Network Discussion Forum.

The BID Network Exchange is a dedicated membership group for BIDs in both Town Centres and non-town centres. While many of the early BIDs have been in town centres there are already BIDs in non-centres such as industrial estates, business parks or Area Travel Plan Partnerships. As their numbers grow we will respond to the needs of non-town centre BIDs with dedicated information sharing and Network Exchange opportunities.

This section of the website will bring details of forthcoming events and Members will also be able to read reports of past events that they have missed.

Some comments from our recent events:

• “I learnt something new today”
• “There is a danger we get too inward focused and this is useful”
• “Re visiting ideas is extremely interesting”
• “The networking this provides is vital”
• “It is obvious this is worthwhile with such a good turnout”
• “It is an opportunity to get out and visit other sites which is worthwhile”
• “We have a tendency to think we won't learn anything from non London BIDs but I have certainly learnt something today”

The next BIDs Exchange Network meeting will be held in London on 3rd October 2007. It is open to all ATCM or UKBIDS members who have held a successful ballot. See the Stop Press section for more details
