Workshops
Members are invited to attend any of CSP's workshops in strategic locations throughout the world. As part of its educational activities, CSP conducts a workshop featuring customers/supplier teams discussing their CMS programs. The audiences are primarily customers interested in learning about CMS.

Opportunity to interact with colleagues in the CMS industry and potential customers
The Forum offers several ways to network with peers and other innovative managers. We can help connect member company representatives to peers at other firms, relevant trade and professional associations, non-governmental organizations and public agencies, all of whom can be resources in addressing CMS-related issues. In the past, CSP has held workshops that bring together potential customers and CMS providers. If the Forum chooses to continue these workshops, they are an excellent opportunity to interact with potential customers.
