In this edition, the DAC Beachcroft education advisor focuses on the ICT supplier market - coinciding with BETT 2012 this week. We are also delighted to introduce a recent senior recruit to the team, Michael Peeters. Michael has over 20 years experience advising on ICT contracting and regulation - often acting for ICT suppliers but also with a number of user clients in the education sector. He regularly speaks on ICT law issues and sits on the Board of the International Technology Law Association. Michael has acted as editor for this newsletter.
