Regional Groups and Networks
From the very beginning, ITI members have sought to form groups based on regional, language and specialist lines. Currently, ITI has regional groups that span the United Kingdom, such as the ITI Scottish Network and ITI London Regional Group. Language groups such as the German Network, French Network (FrNet) and Japanese Network (J-Net), as well as subject-based networks such as STEP and infotech, maintain lively internet-based groups for purposes such as the clarification of terminological queries, discussion of best practice, sharing work, and organizing social events within what is often seen as a solitary profession.

Famous quotes containing the words groups and/or networks:
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
