May 21 2008 - The CIPD has today announced that it will be relocating its
Annual Conference and Exhibition to Manchester Central
Convention Complex from 2009. The conference will also be
moving from its current September slot to a new slot in
November to coincide with the move to Manchester. The
dates for the 2009 Annual Conference and Exhibition will
be Tuesday 17 November to Thursday 19 November 2009.
The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition 2008 will take
place in Harrogate from Tuesday 16 September to Thursday 18
September 2008.
Nina Harman, CIPD Head of Conferences and Exhibitions, said:
"Our Annual Conference and Exhibition is one of the most popular
events in the world for people management and development
professionals. But we're always looking for ways to make it
better.
"Manchester Central's state of the art facilities offer us the
flexibility to be innovative in developing the conference and
exhibition from 2009 and on into the future, for the benefit
of the thousands of people management and development
professionals who join us for the event each year. Manchester
offers excellent transport links for our domestic and
international guests, and also offers a wide range of
accommodation and other facilities to cater for all those who
visit the event over the three days.
"We've made this change on the basis of extensive research
amongst the conference delegates and exhibition visitors who
make the event such a success year after year."
