In the SIG Opening Event on April 11, and to start off a special year of celebration of our dear APIBA SIGS, which are turning 15 this year, we briefly went through their history and some APIBA members suggested re-launching this very successful SIG, which first started in the year 2000 and was extremely popular for a number of years, but then disappeared around 10 years ago.

Interested? Join the SIG on its very first meeting to decide what topics to discuss on a monthly basis during 2015, where to meet - either face to face or virtually- and who will coordinate the SIG meetings this year. It´s essential that you should remember what a SIG is and what it is not. " A SIG is not a traditional course, seminar or workshop, but a study group that demands the commitment and active participation of all its members" (APIBA SIG Handbook, 2013 , page 12)
