[edit] ITNEA in brief

ITNEA has over 360 members, holding over 1000 directorships between them.
These directorships range from private start-ups to FTSE 100 companies, in all sectors, both UK and international.
The common thread is that to qualify for membership, they must hold a non-executive directorship or Chairmanship of a quoted technology company (or an executive directorship of such where the person has or wants a non-exec rôle as well).
There is no charge to join ITNEA, or to attend the events, thanks to the support of our sponsors.
We typically hold 3 dinners and 3 lunches a year, with 50-60 members attending each time.
Member communication is done by email, for speed and the convenience of all concerned!
