About SIGS

Special Interest Groups

The Irish Computer Society provides members with an independent means of keeping up-to-date, resources for professional development and a network of contacts in the ICT sector to build and share ideas.
Listed below are a number of Special Interest Groups made up of members from all the societies we support but who share a special interest in a particular area of IT. Each group has it's own member events and networking meetings decided and led by group members.
If you have an idea for a Special Interest Group or would like to make a non-commercial presentation to our members relevant to a group please contact memberservices@ics.ie

Membership of the ICS provides free access to these groups and typically reduces conference attendance and professional development prices by 20%. Joining is easy, find out more.
