AWICS WEBINARS These webinars look at a range of subjects of interest to clients in local government and housing. They last between 1½ and two hours and offer participants plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion as well as a presentation on the topic. The cost is between £25 and £50 a session plus value added tax. The webinars conform to the same standards that clients have come to expect at our seminars and workshops but will offer a different format in which to learn and exchange information and points of view. Participants in each webinar will also receive a digital copy of the presentation used and a digital copy of a briefing paper on the subject.
