SPA 2012 CONFERENCE 01-07-12

Skills Matter is pleased to support SPA 2012, - the annual BCS Software Practice Advancement conference which brings together experts and practitioners to share the latest thinking in software development and takes place in London on July 1-4 2012!

Now in it's 16th year, the conference has a tradition of active participation.
