Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the BMI, Scarecrow are running their popular biennial MBSE event at the BMI in Birmingham.
About this Event

A two-day MBSE event featuring:

  • presentations from the Scarecrow Team
  • presentations from guest speakers
  • panel sessions
  • prizes

This is a great opportunity, at an incredibly low price (only Β£85 per person for the two days), to enjoy two days of thought-provoking (and possibly contentious!) MBSE content with like-minded people. As well as being entertaining and informative, it is also a great opportunity for networking.

As with previous events, we are again offering our Bring Your Boss for Free tickets. See the ticketing page for details.
