The directory has a print run of around 6,000 and is also available to view online on the Publications page of this website. Full page, full colour adverts are priced from £1200 to £1700 plus VAT, depending on their position within the directory. Organisations taking an advert also benefit from an exhibition stand, at no extra charge, at SCIS's Annual Conference and AGM, for which details are given, above.
