2. ABOUT
the event Since the first
Convention in
1956,
the event has consistently attracted, on average, over 500 delegates
each year. Despite tough trading conditions and some events of this
size being cancelled, IPM still runs a successful event each year. In
2016/17, attendance hovered around 800, inclusive of speakers,
exhibitors and guests - a sign that the IPM Convention continues to
offer value.
Time and time again, the IPM Convention & Exhibition has proved to
be the one event in the HR calendar that everyone wants to attend.
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
social programmes hosted in attractive surrounds that enhance
learning.
