CIPD Scotland Highlights 2019/20
June marked the end of the CIPD financial year, and it’s a good time to reflect on what has been a busy year for our team in Scotland, COVID-19 withstanding; including welcoming new Scottish team members, our most successful ever CIPD Scotland Annual Conference, expanding our member networks and contributing to several policy consultations and key research into the world of work.
Conferences and events
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak and keeping the health, well-being and safety of our community in mind we have made the difficult decision to suspend all face to face events until further notice. However, over the coming months, we have a great variety of online events, webinars and networking opportunities.

The CIPD Annual Scottish Conference is the leading event for people professionals in Scotland.
