4 – 8 Members £190
9 – 15 Members £300
15+ Members £500
Which Organisational Tier Should We Choose?
Choose a tier based on how many people in your organisation will actively use BGEN membership, such as staff who:
– attend BGEN training events
– participate in online networking sessions
– access member resources
– take part in conferences or workshops
You can update the staff members linked to your organisational membership during the year, so the same individuals do not need to remain members throughout the year.
Please note
Memberships are not transferrable between different individuals in your team for different events.
