Some background information on the European BPM Roundtable:

Over the past two decades, BPM has caused a radical change in the way in which organizations work. Nowadays, many organizations are structured in a 'process-oriented' manner and use BPM tools and techniques, both in their daily operations and to realize change. Still, this active field is developing rapidly and new tools and techniques appear continuously. This development is sustained by the continuous effort of researchers, who generate and develop new ideas, and practitioners, who demand new solutions and, by applying these in practice, generate valuable experience, which triggers further development.

To facilitate this collaboration, the BPM round table provides a forum where researchers and practitioners meet, discuss the latest trends, exchange ideas and, together, take the field of business process management forward. There are currently 22 national BPM round tables. The European BPM round table provides a European infrastructure, in which national BPM round tables share, among other things, knowledge, speakers and contacts.
