Thirteen educational sessions are scheduled during the three-day
conference. Topics include data centers, IP integration, green IT, electronic
safety and security and more. These sessions are presented by ITS experts
with extensive subject matter knowledge.

Throughout the European Conference, delegates will also have multiple
opportunities to network with top exhibitors while taking in many of the
cutting-edge products and solutions the industry has to offer in the Exhibit
Hall.

This Conference also hosts the first European installment of the BICSI
Cabling Skills Challenge, an event that has been very successful in the
United States. The BICSI European Cabling Skills Challenge will take place
during evening Exhibit Hall hours on June 6 and 7. Competitors will race
against the clock and each other to complete a set of industry tasks to
correct specifications. The winner will be crowned European Installer of the
Year and will be sponsored to compete in the BICSI Cabling Skills Challenge
in Orlando, Fla., USA, during the 2012 BICSI Winter Conference & Exhibition.

BICSI Cares, the charity arm of BICSI, will have a presence at the
European Conference. All of the donations made to BICSI Cares during the
conference will be given to The Teddy Bear Foundation, a Scotland-based
children's charity which acts as a kind of "fairy godfather" to schools and
organizations that work with children with special needs.
