The CIPD Festival of Work 2025 is set to be an unmissable event, offering valuable insights into the future of work and the people profession’s role in shaping it. 

Alongside an incredible line-up of expert speakers, the two-day festival offers you a perfect opportunity to meet the CIPD team and share your thoughts on the future of the profession and how we can best support your career. 

The festival is taking place from 11 to 12 June at Excel London, and you can register for free today.  

 

Shape your profession’s future at the CIPD stand 

By visiting the CIPD stand and chatting with our team, you can help shape not only the future of your profession, but also the support you’ll get from us throughout your career. Through an interactive survey, you can share what’s most important to you - including where and how you’d like to develop your skills. Your valuable input will give us the insights we need to keep creating the tools, resources and support you need to help empower you in your career. 

You can also take part in an interactive game to learn more about the ways in which we can support your organisation’s HR team to build confidence, capability and credibility. Did you know we offer so much more than qualifications and membership?  

Better yet, we’re waiving the joining fee for Affiliate Membership and membership renewal (for lapsed members only) for the duration of the festival – and offering an exclusive 25% discount on group learning courses and team assessments. To claim these offers, come and speak to our team at the CIPD stand. 

 

Tackle HR challenges in expert-led workshops

Employers and HR leaders can also attend special workshops during the festival. Led by the CIPD team and a range of expert guests, these roundtable events are the perfect opportunity for senior leaders to engage with peers and collaborate on driving real change. 

By attending, leaders can share their experiences and ideas and discuss solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the people profession today: building the skills and productivity of the workforce;  navigating the challenges of digital transformation; and employment law reforms.   

Visit the CIPD stand at the festival to find out more and secure your place.
