Hi there, I’ve been to the surveying 2.0 event at the MDDA today and listened to Martin talk about this institute, and I’d like to get involved in some degree with my business providing social media marketing strategies and developing innovative web applications for our clients.
Let me know how I can get involved.

Many thanks for your kind response to the presentation Paul. We are compiling a list of names who have a similar interest to your own, and we intend to maintain regular communication as the i4SM begins to take shape.
