What to expect

Change is no longer something that happens every so often, it’s a constant.

The CIPD Change Management Conference brings together forward-thinking leaders, HR professionals, and transformation experts to share strategies, stories and tools that help organisations thrive through continuous change.

From building change-ready cultures and empowering leaders at every level, to unlocking the potential of AI and proving the business value of transformation, people and change professionals are at the forefront of enabling organisations to evolve and thrive.

Building organisational change-readiness

Learn how to shift from reactive change projects to a culture of continuous adaptability — empowering both systems and people to evolve together.

Empowering leaders and managers

Discover how to equip managers at all levels with the behaviours, mindsets and skills to sponsor change and keep teams motivated during transformation.

Communicating and Engaging Through Change

Explore how to communicate transformation in a way that informs, inspires and involves your workforce. Find out how to overcome resistance, maintain trust and build engagement during periods of uncertainty.

Using Data and Insights to Drive Transformation

Learn how to translate data into stories and metrics that prove the impact of change. Discover how KPIs, dashboards and evidence-based insights can help you demonstrate progress and sustain momentum.

Leading Digital and AI-Driven Change

Explore how to harness technology, digital thinking and AI tools to accelerate transformation while keeping people at the heart of innovation. Gain clarity on balancing automation with human creativity and connection.

Creating Cultures of Agility, Resilience and Belonging
