We ensure our events provide practical and legislative learning to enhance your professional development. Our events are held online via MS Teams or in-person at a venue in East London. We welcome your feedback on our events and also your suggestions for any future events.

Our members rate their access to a local branch in their top three membership benefits. Come along to our branch events to discover other CIPD benefits. Explore the issues and trends impacting our profession. Network, learn and share ideas with people professionals in our area.
We are one of the seven branches in the London region, and larger events are run by the region.
The East London and Docklands branch geographically covers some of the most diverse and dynamic business communities in the UK. Covering the Stratford area and the fast-paced developments at the 2012 Olympic Park, through to the ongoing developments in the Docklands and Royal Docks areas close to the Thames. Our branch members work in people roles for some of the largest organisations in the world, through to start-ups and thriving family and small businesses. The region also has several academic CIPD centres offering all levels of CIPD qualifications.
The branch works closely with the universities, colleges and independent qualification providers in the region, and we seek to support our strong CIPD student membership base through tailored branch activities.
Our online branch events can be watched afterwards via YouTube.
