Summit Magazine

Summit magazine is our members magazine published four times a year. It's an inspirational read that will inspire you about all there is to discover and be part of with your BMC membership.

Summit goes digital

Digital vs Print

Summit magazine is available only digitally, not print, for the rest of 2024. Providing issues of Summit in digital-only format allows us to continue bringing our members great stories, resources, news and information straight to your devices. We recognise that some members may still prefer printed materials, and we are exploring options to meet that need, though no final decisions have been made.

Environmental Impacts

We are seeing a shift in content consumption habits and are focusing on improving our digital content delivery. Additionally, the environmental impact of large-scale paper use and printing does not align with our values of conservation and environmental responsibility.

Cost of Delivery

The cost of delivery has risen significantly, with increases in paper, printing, and postage, as well as other expenses related to delivering membership services. We are seeing a shift in content consumption habits and are focusing on improving our digital content delivery.
