In that period PITCOM established a pattern of organising half a dozen evening meetings a year on current political topics plus an annual high-profile exhibition or event. The first of the latter, in 1981, was a week-long exhibition on computer-based aids for the disabled opened by Sir George Young MP, then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Services.
PITCOM's pattern involved holding regular meetings every six months to discuss current political topics and hosting an annual major event. The first such event was a week-long exhibition on computer-based aids for disabled people in 1981, which was opened by Sir George Young MP, then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Services.
