| Hi :Person_firstname:
As 2015 draws to a close we'd like to thank everyone for their support during 2015. It's been a busy year and we wouldn't have been able to deliver what we have without the contribution and hard work of many in the sector.
We'll be closing the office at midday on the 24th of December and reopening on the 5th of January.
However we already have a good deal planned for 2016 so keep an eye on our Events Calendar - we've just opened registrations for our first leading practice Forum of the year (see below) and we'll be opening registrations for most of our other 2016 forums and major events during January.
Risk Management Forum
23 & 24 February in Wellington
This is the annual professional development and networking opportunity for risk management practitioners and will showcase relevant and innovative case studies. You can find more details and register here.
Dates for the rest of our 2016 Leading Practice Forums and other major events were published in our Pulse magazine released earlier in the month.
