SPA is a specialist group of the BCS. Read about our aims and mission here.

• organise regular events in three centres: London, Cambridge and Guernsey.
• organise and run the SPA conference series and occasional lecture series
• run mailing lists
• run a Wiki for members

Although everyone can attend BCS SPA meetings, those attending more than one or two are encouraged to join the British Computer Society at the appropriate grade. You'll find everything you need to know about joining SPA here.

The materials from past events are here, along with newsletters and other useful materials. There's a wiki for discussion of related topics.

The Cambridge chapter of SPA organises regular meetings. There is also a fledgling chapter in Guernsey.

There are a number of friendly organisations whose goals are broadly sympathetic to those of SPA, and with whom SPA has had cross-sponsorship or other arrangements in the past.
