To reduce your carbon footprint we would strongly recommend travelling by public transport where possible. The Principality Stadium is located at Westgate St, Cardiff CF10 1NS and is well served by public transport. The closest train station is Cardiff Central railway station (0.2 miles) which operates mainline services from West Wales, the Midlands, the South Coast and London. From the station to the Principality Stadium it is a 5 minute walk. 

For more information about travelling to the Stadium and parking information, please visit the venue’s website.

As a city centre venue, Principality Stadium has very limited storage space when events are in operation. For this reason, it is not possible to guarantee the secure storage of luggage. Please speak to a steward whilst at the stadium regarding storage and whilst every effort will be made to securely store such items, this cannot be guaranteed.

Connect with us on LinkedIn and Facebook. Be sure to use the hashtag #CIPDWalesConf26 before, during and after the event to join the conversation.

Exhibitors are being targeted by organisations claiming to be, or work with the CIPD. They offer misleading directory services, accommodation recommendations and show guide services – sometimes they use existing CIPD branding which may appear genuine.

Please be aware and remain vigilant when contacted by these organisations. We recommend not responding to these communications and to circulate examples of scam emails to make the appropriate teams aware of the risk.

The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition is not in any way associated with these organisations and does not engage in the sale or trade of any customer lists or charge for show guides/profiles. If you are ever in doubt about a piece of communication received in relation to the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Account Manager.

The exhibition is free. A conference ticket needs to be purchased to attend the conference sessions and will include lunch and refreshments. You can purchase your conference ticket here.
