Invitation to BHBIA members to organise training workshops/events in 2012

During 2012 the BHBIA will be running a number of one-day workshops and events. We invite BHBIA member companies to submit proposals for the sessions listed below.

Running one of our workshops or events provides member organisations with an opportunity to raise their profile amongst other BHBIA members and we are seeking the support of companies that can provide their time and expertise free of charge to co-ordinate the programme for these events. We encourage the involvement of a range of speakers - as well as agency and pharma business intelligence input we would like to see (depending on the topic) the inclusion of speakers from outside pharma - e.g. other industries, the NHS or professional trainers, and we will consider a small budget for speaker fees for outside experts. The BHBIA will fund the venue and arrange catering.

Most workshop attendees will be BHBIA members -
 pharmaceutical companies and agencies - but registration is also open to non-members (except for the Members' Exchange Forum). For the one-day workshops our target number of attendees is around 12, but can vary from 6 to 18.

Topics are as follows (provisional dates are shown in brackets):

One-day workshops

  • Behavioural Economics and Neuroscience - one-day workshop (26th January 2012) 
  • Story-boarding for Researchers and Analysts - one-day workshop (9th February 2012)

    A given organisation/individual may submit proposals for up to 3 of the courses/sessions, according to their specific areas of expertise. (only BHBIA member organisations may apply). We particularly encourage collaborations between two or more organisations whose expertise is complementary, or agency-industry partnerships)

    In the event that more than 3 organisations are interested in pitching for the same opportunity, we will invite proposals only from the first 3 to have indicated their interest, so please do contact us by 16th August to register your interest. We will acknowledge receipt promptly

    Deadline for proposals: 30th August 2011

    PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT THE FULL TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR 2012. In addition to these topics the BHBIA will be running foundation training, ethics and guidelines training and further one-day workshops (particularly in the area of commercial analytics) that will be put together by project teams drawn from the BHBIA committee and other volunteer BHBIA members.
