As the CIPR Cymru annual spring conference returns in person, we bring you a full day of insight, inspiration, and great ideas to help you and your organisation on your EDI journey.

If our profession is not inclusive, diverse, nor equitable, how can we hope to create campaigns that speak to and resonate with our many and varied communities, stakeholders and audiences?

Join us in Cardiff on 17 April to hear from an experienced panel of speakers about their EDI journey, with some brilliant first steps and good practice examples, and discussions about the challenges we must face to be a truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive profession.

Delegate fees give you access to four great keynotes, two case studies, and two panel discussions, plus refreshments and a light lunch. This is an in-person event.

The venue is fully accessible, with on-site parking and nearby public transport links. A quiet room will be provided for regulation, reflection, and prayer.
