I received an email today concerning this conference, which is, apparently a 'must attend' for those wishing to supply the government.
What really annoys me, is that, yet again, we are expected to pay (£120) to be given advice and access to selling to our own government and be paid by our own, tax supplied, money.
They have a list of 10 reasons why you should attend, the first being - 'Your opportunity to hear what the Government is doing to help SMEs'. So I now have to pay for this?
Am I the only person who thinks this is still a rediculous stance (i.e. charging us to be able to access tender info) and then charging us (OK, it is a third party organiser) to get advice on how to take advantage of tese opportunities?
A classic example of promoting and promising one thing (greater involvement by SME's in third sector supply) and 'taxing' you for the pleasure!
