What an incredible Festival! Over 11,000 festival-goers arrived to help us settle into our new home, ExCeL London. With 130 content sessions across 7 stages, we came together across two days to celebrate the future of work, gather insights on the future and form new connections.
“Mind blown by TheSolveEngine talking about AI and humanity at the CIPD Festival of Work, then inspired to do more about mental fitness by Dr Alex George. Great start to day one.”
“Excited to be here at the Festival of Work with the Silver Cloud gang"
“Charging batteries before learning more about AI...Dog Therapy- my favourite wellbeing activity at the CIPD Festival of Work. If dogs are not your thing, join for yoga, tai chi or massages”

Internal communication needs to be different, engaging and accessible. It sets a standard and shows you're committed. You have to live your values on your external and internal communication channels. #FestivalOfWork
The CIPD Festival of Work is a great platform to learn, listen, discuss and bring attention to crucial topics like mental health. We STILL need to shift mindsets and reduce stigma around mental health, especially as this week is Men's Mental Health Week. Sharing insights and raising awareness through social media posts can make a significant impact. Be prepared for more updates! First talk of the day and so insightful and makes me look back at my own personal journey!
I went curious, and left inspired...
Such a good day at the CIPD Festival of Work
Wow...What an amazing day at the CIPD Festival of Work 🙌
Fantastic first talk at Festival of Work today. Really enjoyed hearing from Jackie Grier at Mindset Practice and Kerry Isherwood from Virgin Atlantic talk about the importance of growth and survival tendencies and the impact that showing up to work with a growth mindset has on innovation and creating a climate at work that maximises performance.
Dr Daniel Holme kicked off day one with an outlook on AI and the future of automation, asking the important question "what does the right automation look like for your business?". We came back to the human element of the event with Stacey Dooley MBE and Elliot Rae hosting a thought provoking session, on how we can break barriers and ignite change. Alex Mahon re-enforced this sentiment with a candid reflection on her career and fostering courage within a modern workplace.
The second day welcomed Dex Hunter-Torricke, who captivated the audience with his presentation on 'The Global Tapestry: Decoding the future of technology, leadership and society'. With other sessions throughout the day exploring the important questions of innovation, responsibility and values facing the leaders and organisations of the future.
