It’s back – a live in-person CIPA Congress! Although the past two years of online Congress have been very successful they cannot re-create the buzz of an in-person gathering. So we are excited to welcome you back to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre on 15 September 2022 for this year’s CIPA Congress. We have put together a stimulating programme including high-profile keynote speakers and topical panel discussions in which our members share their expertise. Following Congress we will be holding the CIPA Annual Dinner, which is bookable separately from Congress itself. Guest speaker will be none other than Lord Justice Colin Birss, who will also join the Congress panel on mental wellbeing. We hope you will be able to attend both events, and look forward to seeing you.
