The CDI National Conference is an excellent opportunity to hear from a wide range of fantastic practitioners and thought leaders on key areas related to career development. It is our most prestigious event, held every two years, and for CDI members this year includes the CDI AGM and installation of the new CDI President.
This day-and-a-half online event is a great way to end the year, with a range of insightful keynote talks, seminars and panel sessions, brought to you by the CDI working with colleagues from across the sector.

Conference theme
Professional careers interventions can have a hugely positive impact on the individual, the economy and society, and at the conference we’ll be exploring how career development supports the 17 United Nations' sustainability goals under the themes of:
- Decent Work and Sustainable Economic Activity (labour market)
- Education
- Social Equity
- Peace and Justice
- Health and Well-being
- Environment
Schedule
The main conference will run in three sessions across two days and each session will focus on two of the United Nations' goals:
- 9th December morning: Decent Work and Sustainable Economic Activity / Education
- 9th December afternoon: Social Equity / Peace & Justice
- 10th December morning: Health and Well-being / Environment
The CDI AGM will take place on the afternoon of 10th December and is open to CDI members only. It will be followed by the installation of Carolyn Parry as the new CDI President, which is open to everyone to attend.
Bringing in the clients' voice
At this year’s conference, we want to complement the wide range of thought leaders and experts with the voice of your clients. We’re looking for short client videos that share the difference your support made to their career and life journey. As well as being practitioners, some of you may have been clients yourselves, and we’d love to hear your story.
Here is an example from David Morgan, CEO of the CDI.
