MEET THE EXPERTS Technical Forum Seminars & Exhibition inc. CPD Eligible Problem Solving Product Presentations NEW SEMINAR TOPICS FOR 2014 The 2014 Meet the EXPERTS tour has a number of new seminar topics from some new to DCE presenters. Additionally, many of the existing CPD providers who have been on the DCE programmes previously, have been reviewing, refreshing and updating their presentations so that the seminar topics throughout 2014 will be Technically Updated. 500 HOURS OF CPD The DCE MEET The EXPERTS Technical Forums offer more than 500 hours of CPD presentations throughout 2014. DCE is the most committed of CPD providers with 66 different regional opportunities all around the British Isles during 2014. The DCE CPD Networking Roadshow is also the longest established having first staged a CPD event in October 1993, the first year that Continuing Professional Development was introduced! Since then DCE has staged approx 2,000 more different events with more than 10,000 individual presentations. Incredibly, in 2014 we have still managed to find brand new locations which will be seeing a DCE event for the very first time! Over the years we have established some regular and must do locations and venues. At the same time, we have always been adventurous in trying to offer CPD opportunities in areas where some Building and Construction professionals have struggled to accumulate their 105 hours over three years without considerable travel involved. COMPLETELY FREE TO ATTEND Attendance at ALL DCE events is completely FREE of charge. Each event is financed by the presenting companies. Manufacturers, specialist service providers and suppliers have always been important sources of technical and educational information for specifiers and other building and construction professionals. It is these companies whose products need to comply with the latest Building Regulations and who innovate with materials, performance and application. The DCE
