Just complete the form with this letter and you could be on the way to reaching hundreds of engineers at once. Benefits for you: Our Institution is very active across [Tyne & Wear] and we’ve got a membership of over [1100]. All events are advertised to the whole network of members, which gives you an unparalleled chance to reach engineers from a broad range of industries and at all points in their careers. We organise a programme of [20] events per year, from presentations and lectures from industry leaders such as [Aston Martin, Virgin Galactic and Siemens], to social evenings, technical visits and education initiatives. Our events regularly attract audiences of over 100. Check out our website at [Near You URL] for more details. Promoting your company: demonstrate your company’s commitment to our profession by linking up with the Institution. Making a connection with us can only be good for your company’s image – and presenting a lecture on a case study about a recent challenge or development shows that your company has a professional attitude to its business. Take the opportunity to give insights into your company’s key projects and principles and make yourself better known in [Tyne & Wear]. Bring along some marketing material for your company too. Developing consultancy work: maybe some of the engineers attending the event will have experienced challenges similar to the ones you describe in your lecture in their own work. Perhaps your company might be able to help them overcome these problems? Boosting graduate recruitment: many of our lectures are held in universities or colleges. Students from these places will be looking for jobs - and you want the best ones to apply for jobs with you. Why not give them an insight into your company and a preview of your latest developments? Sponsorship: as well as participating in events, you could also sponsor our education initiatives, which encourage engineering in local schools. Raise your company’s profile in the community by joining with us and promoting the importance of engineering in our area.
