The UK Career Development Awards are a high point in the CDI event calendar, when we recognise and celebrate excellence across the career development sector, in the UK and internationally.
The awards ceremony
Join us to recognise and celebrate the achievements of this year's awards winners at the UK Career Development Awards on Monday 26 June, 6 pm - 11.45 pm, at the Hilton East Midlands Airport, Derby. Book your place here.
The event will begin at 6 pm with a drinks reception, followed by dinner then the announcement of the awards winners. Following the award presentations, you will be able to celebrate with colleagues at the after-party until closing.
We hope that you can join us for this memorable event, which will see practitioners from across the career development sector meeting to celebrate the outstanding work of their colleagues and friends.
The awards will take place the evening before the National Careers Leaders' Conference (27 June, University of Derby). You can save £20 when you book a joint ticket to attend the awards and the National Careers Leaders' Conference.
