Councils & Steering Groups

BIMA Councils are the think tanks, there to inspire and educate the community, while our Steering groups exist to give advice and leadership on member benefits. Both are open to recruitment from BIMA membership.

Help shape the digital industry

BIMA’s Councils drive innovation and excellence across the digital industry. They prepare the industry for the future. If there’s a burning digital issue within creativity and tech that merits deeper exploration, chances are there’s a BIMA Council dedicated to it.

Meanwhile our Steering groups are designed to advise BIMA HQ on how to ensure member benefits remain relevant and offer maximum value. Our councils are like industry think tanks, while steering groups are like small advisory boards.
