Not for profit?

NewMR is not intentionally run as a not for profit organisation – but it often works out that way. We reserve the right to make some money out of it one day, perhaps, hopefully. Many of our events are supported via donations and sometimes by sponsorship.

What don’t we do?

We don’t buy things, we don’t mail our supporters on your behalf, we don’t pay for speakers, and we try not to take ourselves too seriously.

We are not looking to form mergers, new companies, or to take part in money making schemes (real or illusory).

Who owns NewMR.org?

NewMR.org is owned and operated by The Future Place Consultancy Ltd, based in the UK (38 South View Road, Carlton, Nottingham, UK).
