Running alongside the main stage, the member room is where you’ll find speakers who can help you build your business, get up-to-date with PASMA’s news and direction of travel, and meet the team behind the association. Topics will include opportunities for using small drones in access tower operations, advice on winning public sector contracts and how management systems like ISO 9001 can help you achieve your strategic objectives.
