The Annual Go-To Event for HR Professionals and Leaders, The Institute of People
Management Convention and Exhibition, takes place 1-4 November 2015, Sun City,
North West Province, South Africa
The IPM Annual Conference and Exhibition takes place this year at Sun City from 1-4
November. The event has been running since 1956 and has consistently attracted over 500
delegates. In 2008, just preceding the world economic crisis, attendance figures boomed at
1100, including exhibitors and speakers. In 2009, despite tough trading conditions and general
trend for events of this size to be cancelled, IPM still managed to run a successful event. In
2014, numbers sat at a steady 900, a sign that our Convention is offering value to those who
are present.
Human Resources Professionals, business leaders, suppliers and key influencers come
together from private and public sectors to explore topical issues and to seek solutions to
business challenges. The event offers unrivalled networking opportunities as delegates,
exhibitors, speakers and sponsors engage during both the formal and the social programme in
the beautiful surrounds of the North West Province, at the largest conferencing venue in South
Africa, Sun City.
This year, IPM celebrates its 70th Anniversary, and the event is being designed to celebrate
achievements and to exceed expectations. The formal, informal and social programmes are
being revamped, with more sessions and a diversity of options to choose from. We will isolate
key trends that will shape our future, understand very clearly where HR will deliver value, and
provide a thinking and testing ground to explore what that looks like in practice.
The focus of the Convention is:
“HR DELIVERING INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE: THE NEXT 70 YEARS OF THOUGHT
LEADERSHIP” Driving HR’s impact into the Future
The sub-themes, which will guide all of the Convention sessions, are:
 Emerging Trends impacting the organizational landscape
 The Implication for Business and HR’s value proposition
 Good Practice HR
