Supporting you today to create a bolder
tomorrow for the people profession

In recent years there has been an era of change in the world of work – an era which presents the people profession with both a purpose and an opportunity to be bolder in its approach and to ensure that people are at the heart of our new economic paradigm. We've also seen AI continue to be a point of discussion.

The 2024 CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition interrogates key challenges facing the sector so that Senior leaders, HR, OD and L&D practitioners can take decisive action when confronted by these in their own organisations. More importantly, we come together to determine what the innovations and challenges for the profession are and how to prepare for them. 

Take part in these curated content sessions, aimed at providing direct support to you. Answering key questions across the profession and providing frameworks to key strategies. Equip yourself with the right skills and opportunities, you need, to be a people professional leader. These topics are all about supporting you.
