Events Listing for 2011 September October November December Events Listing for 2012 January February March April May June	Join Us for Our First Event of the Year: Business Analysis Trends for 2012 Every year at this time we dust off the crystal ball, look back on our predictions from last year, reflect on what actually happened, and make some predictions for what we think is going to happen on planet BA in the next 12 months. Is enterprise level business analysis taking hold and offering real professional opportunities? Has Agile made any actual inroads into the companies we work for? Is the business systems analyst the next generation for most of us, or will it remain a niched specialization? Does certification make any real difference? Come find out and add your voice and views.

	Centre of the GTA BA Universe As one of the first, largest and most active chapters within the IIBA, the Toronto Chapter has a longstanding tradition of service to our members. Our annual season runs from the beginning of September through the end of June. Every month we host top notch experts in business analysis, who present on a wide variety of topics that link to the knowledge areas of the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, and extend outwards into issues in leadership, case studies, industry trends and best practices where the rubber hits the road – your daily experience as a business analysis practitioner. If that wasn’t enough, attending an event earns you 2 CDU’s that you can apply to CBAP or CCBA Certification with the IIBA.
	Membership Plus Unsurpassed networking opportunities with employers, peers and other business professionals are available at all our events, and our members waste no time in reaching out, exchanging business cards and building their professional network. Our LinkedIn Group, available only to members of the IIBA, expands the potential for sharing, learning and professional opportunities. Toronto is the home of the IIBA and so its chapter members are some of the most knowledgeable experts you will find anywhere. Each month an expert presenter lectures on important topics, issues, tools, and career options. Each presentation is made available as a PDF download. White papers, articles, bogs, and book reviews help guide you through the myriad of content that is out there. Our Member Rewards program allows you to accrue credit that can be applied to discounts on membership renewal each year. Gain points through attending events and volunteering your time and talents to chapter work.
