The Business Continuity Planners Association (BCPA), based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, has supported business professionals with a non-profit, mutual benefit association for those participating in Business Continuity, Emergency Management, Crisis Management, Disaster Recovery, Vendor Resiliency planning or a related professional vocation since 1994.

The mission of BCPA is to provide a professional and educational environment for the exchange of experience, dissemination of information, professional growth, and for added value of mutual interest to the membership.

BCPA membership is open to any and all professionals interested in the vocations identified above, or related vocations.

Members will be assessed annual dues, payable upon receipt of invoice from BCPA, and will be informed of the uses of these dues at least annually. Dues may be pro-rated on a semi-annual basis to bring a new member into the annual billing cycle.

Getting Started with chaos, real world experiences

When: April 17, 2018 
Details: What we we'll do- Keeping chaos going! We're meeting again in the DevJam basement. We'll have some real world experiences from our peers in the Twin Cities who are pulling our organizations into chaos engineering, followed by a fishbowl discussion. From what we call it, where to start, challenges, payoffs, successes, and mistakes, come be a part of the conversation. There's nothing magic or scary about it, and pretty much everybody but Netflix is just getting started, so show up to learn and contribute. We need your voice, and we'll do better together.
Let's get some chaos on, and follow along as we bring this exciting new discipline to the Twin Cities.
• What to bring: Brains, voices, experiences.
• Important to know: Join the conversation on slack
