Cancellations received a minimum of 30 days prior to the first day of the event will be refunded. Please note: a £45 administration fee will be incurred to process all ticket refunds. It will not be possible to cancel bookings with less than 30 days notice to the first day of the event. Substitute delegates are welcome at no extra charge. Any ticket cancellations that still have payment outstanding will be liable for either the administration fee or the full registration fee, dependent on the date and time of the cancellation.

Where the organisers elect to cancel a conference the liability of the organiser will be limited to a refund of any fees paid. The organisers are not liable for any consequential loss. 

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, we have decided to run this year’s CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition as a two-day online event from the 11-12 November 2020.

We are committed to delivering an interactive experience which will tackle the challenges and questions your organisation currently faces head on.  With the majority of workforces still working from home, we appreciate you may have other work or family commitments to focus on. Therefore we believe delivering this year’s event online will give more people the opportunity to attend and take advantage of the learning and networking opportunities available.

Yes, sessions will be made available to access both in real-time and on-demand for 28 days (subject to speaker permissions).

Yes, you will be able to get your questions answered during the scheduled session time via the online Q&A functionality. This will not be possible if you’re viewing the session on-demand.
