Forum Meetings

Driven by members, Forum Meetings take place on a quarterly basis rotating around Forum management and member sites. The host determines the topic which, in most cases, is interactive. Following the Forum, resources are made available on the Forum.

Masterclasses

Taking place bi-annually, Masterclasses allow industry experts to engage attendees on current Information Management (IM) topics allowing for group discussion and activities. Member companies can send up to three attendees to each Forum Masterclass and non-members can attend for a fee.

Research

There is potential to facilitate, conduct and commission research into IM issues. If you have an issue which you think is suited to a research approach, we’d like to hear about it! We will work with the Robert Gordon University (RGU) and other partners as appropriate. This is how the pioneering Benchmarking study came about.

Benchmarking

In response to interest expressed by Forum members in comparing the size, scope and effectiveness of IM in different companies we conduct an annual Benchmarking study. Participants include all sizes of oil and gas companies and engineering service providers.

Training

The Forum and RGU are working together to develop a training course for energy industry information professionals. The intention is for this course to be delivered online to reach the widest audience and be available in mid-2012.
