Over 35 people from the region's leading agencies attended the PACE and Pitch Consultants 'Understanding The Social Web' session back in June.

The training sub-committee of PACE has been busy sourcing relevant training events for its members and will shortly be sending out a questionnaire to identify and understand members' needs.  PACE Council member Matt Ramsbottom, the new Chair of the Training Sub-Committee, said: 'We're keen to make sure that our training events are topical and relevant to our members and we're keen to find out what requirements our members have'.
