SPECIAL INTERESTS GROUPS
CREATION OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS
RealTime Society is a collaborative problem-solving organization.
How can we solve these problems together?
By asking the questions that generate the research and engagement that produces solutions for the real-time community.
RTC Society seeks to enable these outcomes by:
– Creating SIGs that are supported by member companies
– The support of the RTC team for administration and oversight
– Management of public facing activities under the RTC banner
– Distribution of data amongst member companies
