Members of the BASIS Professional Register will benefit from the biggest ever Knowledge Trail at this year’s Cereals Event. Over 20 companies will participate in the 2016 Knowledge Trail, compared to 14 companies in 2015.

Professional Register members can earn up to a maximum of six BASIS points per day, made up of two CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points for attending either day of Cereals 2016 and up to an additional four CPD points by completing Knowledge Trail activities at participating exhibitor stands.

To register for CPD points for attending the event, members should have their Professional Register membership card scanned, or input their details at the BASIS stand, no 353a. Exhibitors on the Knowledge Trail will scan member’s cards after they have completed the required task; BASIS will attribute the Knowledge Trail points to the member after the event.

Stephen Jacob, BASIS Chief Executive, says: “We are delighted that the Cereals Event Knowledge Trail continues to go from strength to strength, offering Professional Register members an excellent opportunity to earn CPD points. Events such as Cereals always present diverse learning and knowledge transfer opportunities and it is right that our members can gain recognition for this.

“With 5,839 Professional Register members and growing, the industry shows no lack of appetite for maintaining professional standards, which is excellent news for the future.”

In 2015, BASIS registered CPD points for 1,581 Professional Register members who attended the Cereals Event, and over 600 of those members took part in the Knowledge Trail.
