Enjoy the benefits of being a full Corporate Member of the premier professional
association for communications, electronics, information systems and intelligence
professionals, AFCEA.
AFCEA offers excellent opportunities for professional development, gathering
market information, establishing new networks of business contacts and making
new friends.
AFCEA exists to stimulate the harnessing of the very latest ideas and technologies.
We exist in a world of constant change. As individuals and as corporate bodies,
as users and as suppliers, we struggle to remain competitive. AFCEA provides
a forum to exchange the latest ideas in an atmosphere free from commercial pressures.
AFCEA groups typically meet once each month for a meal with a presentation of
professional interest. There are also supporting programmes of social and sporting
events and visits to organizations of professional interest.
The Path to Corporate Membership/Sponsorship
Step 1. Your company becomes aware of AFCEA through advertising and
personal recommendation. Visit the AFCEA web site (www.afcea.org.uk)
to locate the UK group most convenient for your purposes. Contact the group
secretary by telephone or email - see committees at London,
West, South
or Croughton
Step 2. One or two members of your company will then be invited to attend
one meeting free of charge.
Step 3. If you wish, your company could become an 'AFCEA UK Corporate
Partner' before proceeding to corporate membership. For a flat rate payment
of £99 per year, for any size of corporation, your company would become
an AFCEA UK Corporate Partner. Partners can send unlimited numbers of their
employees to meetings and are able to participate in both professional information
exchange and networking (AFCEA's 'cornerstone' activities). (Please note: Partners
are not corporate members, and therefore do not enjoy the wide range of international
benefits, nor are eligible for Signal magazine and advertising and trade show
discounts.) Your local AFCEA
group secretary has all the information you need - via Secretary of London,
West, South
or Croughton
Step 4. When your company wishes to enjoy the wide range of corporate
member benefits, you will proceed to corporate membership. Your local AFCEA
group secretary has all the information you need via
