NORMIT Business Continuity Seminar

Thursday 8th May 2008 ~ 0930 - 1630 hrs

UEA Sportspark, Norwich

Helping You To Help Yourself

Running a business can be unpredictable; one never knows what is around the corner.
As good as any business can be, nobody has control over things like bad weather, pandemics, unexpected damage to buildings or utility failure.
Preparing a Business Continuity Plan can help your business effectively manage the emergencies you may face.



Speakers at the NORMIT Seminar will offer practical advice and guidance on a range of Business Continuity issues.
Let us help your organisation survive.

-------------------------------------------------------------

An interesting day with real benefit to organisations of all sizes.

NORMIT is now it's 10th year and is recognised both nationally and internationally as being 'best practice' forr partnership working in the field of Emergency Planning. The 2008 event will be the fifth year that NORMIT has been running this successful annual Business Continuity Seminar.

Promoting Business Continuity Key Themes:

This year the event has been split into two sessions. Consequently we will be offering delegates the opportunity to attend for just the mornig session, just the afternoon session or the full day. The reason for this is to accommodate the national initiative, Project Argus, which will take place in the morning session.


Morning Session

  •  Project Argus Event
     Project Argus is a National Counter Terr0rism Security Office (NaCTSO) initiative, exploring ways to aid you in preventing, handling and recovering from a terr0rist  attack. It achieves this by taking businesses through a simulated attack. The simulation identifies the measures to take for preventing, handling and recoving  from a terr0rist attack. This is a novel and absorbing insight into one of the concerns shared by all modern businesses.
