About this event
We’re having a summer meet up: come along and join us for some networking and a chance to get to know other local people professionals.
Join the CIPD Branch in Hertfordshire for an informal summer netwalking event at Heartwood Forest. This popular relaxed face-to-face event is designed to give local people professionals the opportunity to step away from the desk, enjoy some gentle exercise and connect with others across the local area.
We will meet at Heartwood Forest car park for a friendly walk, with time for introductions, informal networking and conversation along the route. The event is intended to be welcoming and inclusive, whether attendees are CIPD members, non-members, new to the profession, established practitioners, independent consultants or simply looking to meet other local people professionals.
What attendees can expect:
- A gentle walk around Heartwood Forest in a relaxed, informal setting.
- Opportunities to meet and network with others.
- Space to share experiences, ideas and current people-related challenges.
- A chance to build connections in a friendly and supportive environment.
- An optional cuppa and further conversation at Heartwood Café and Tearooms afterwards.

10:00 – Arrival, welcome and introductions at Heartwood Forest car park.
