HACKATHON
Wellbeing is a topic still high on everyone’s agenda. We also appreciate attending an event can be tiring, so it's important you’re able to take the time to reflect on learnings, or simply to relax!
The Wellbeing village is here for you.
As well as talks and advice on all aspects of mental and physical health, there will be breathing workshops, mindfulness exercises and financial advice.
If you want to get the blood pumping a little more, there will be chair yoga sessions and fully qualified masseuse available when you drop by.
Feeling in a more reflective mood? Why not take some time out on our colouring wall, if you fancy taking your mind off things for a little while.
In partnership with CIPD HR-Inform, you’ll be able to take advantage of free legal advice, whether this is something affecting your business or you personally.
These free, 20-minute meetings with a legal advisor can be pre-planned at a time that suits you during your visit, or you can simply drop by and speak with a professional.

This is not your normal kind of library! Our human ‘books’ are available for you to ‘check out’ during the show. Get real one-to-one insights from people with a broad range of experience within and around the profession.
Hearing these first-hand experiences facilitates conversation and another opportunity for shared learning at the CIPD Festival of Work. You’re able to check out as many ‘books’ as you like during your time with us, and with such a broad range of topics, you’ll be sure to find your favourite ‘best-seller’.
In partnership with Mesmerise, you can take a tour of their VR workspace environments. Explore the boardroom for staff meetings, the theatre for content delivery and learning and development, or why not relax with some of your team in the breakout room.
As a part of the CIPD Festival of Work experiences, Future of Work Solutions will be offering attendees an exciting opportunity to explore the latest providers across the People Profession. This has been carefully designed to provide attendees with the most innovative and cutting-edge solutions in the industry, so they can stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the world of work.
The future of work is constantly evolving, that's why these sessions are thought-provoking and strategic, providing valuable insights and information that will leave attendees feeling motivated and inspired to help shape the future of work.
Whether you're a business leader, HR professional, or simply someone interested in the future of work, there is something for everyone.
Our 'Hackathon' is designed to harness the collective wisdom and expertise of delegates across all stages of the event, aiming to address an overarching question that ties into the festival's content.
Twice a day, from 12:00 to 13:30 and 15:00 to 16:30, we invite you to participate in these 1.5-hour interactive sessions. The format includes a 10-minute briefing, a 65-minute discussion, and a 15-minute outcomes session. You'll engage with fellow professionals, thought leaders, and industry experts, as we explore the six stages of the show: ESG, Wellbeing, Employee Experience, L&D, Internal Comms, and EDI.
Our goal is to gather a comprehensive set of outcomes that reflect the collective knowledge and expertise of our diverse audience. The outcomes generated during the Hackathon will be displayed on a dedicated board, fostering further engagement with the audience both during and after the show.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to be part of a transformative shared learning experience, shaping the future of work and driving meaningful change. Join us at the Hackathon and contribute to the conversations that will leave a lasting impact!
It's the next level of discussion!
