All ADS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are formed of Members and stakeholders with similar professional specialities.
These groups are designed to enable Members to network, seek out business development opportunities, learn, influence markets and stakeholders and keep up to date with current, related developments.
All Groups deliver a diverse range of activities which are led by Members and supported by ADS’ Executive. Member companies can belong to any number of SIGs, with as many representatives from their businesses as they wish.
