Manchester Branch

Welcome

This is the Web Site of the Manchester Branch of BCS.

For 2008-9 the events organised by the BCS Manchester Branch are being held at a variety of locations in and around Manchester. Most will be held at the University of Manchester usually in either the Renold Building or the Weston Building. Both these buildings are in the part of the campus that was formally known as UMIST. If you are not familiar with this part of Manchester, here is some information on getting to the venue.

Various services will be provided on our home site, along with information on our current meeting schedule.

Please make use of these facilities, and provide us with feedback. This will then help us to develop both a better Web site and a meeting schedule that reflects your interests.

Synopsis

Every year we experience IT projects from "hell" that we know will turn into an operational disaster. But do any come close to a Titanic's track-record of four years in development (1909-1912) and 4 days in operation?
