Relaxation area

Take a little ‘me’ time for yourself. We know attending shows can be rewarding in so many ways, but they can also be very busy and at times, a little overwhelming. 

The relaxation area in the Refresh and Reflect Café provides you with a chance to slow down and reflect. Why not have a massage? Join a mindfulness session? Or maybe a breathing workshop to help you centre yourself again? Come along… and relax!

Ethics, Conflicts and Resolutions

The subject of ethics across the People Profession has always been at the forefront of everything we do. With the ever changing world of work, new challenges and new opportunities, the subject of ethics has never been more important. Whether this is through the prism of Artificial Intelligence to legal policies and processes.

This feature is an opportunity for all attendees to join the conversation and explore the subject in a number of different ways, from workshops and panel discussions to 'mock' tribunals

Careers & Skills drop-in

These features create spaces for people professionals to come together and benefit from the experience of others. A place for you to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to but never quite had the right person or environment to ask.
