The CIPFA Student Network North West has organised a student conference to run alongside the CIPFA North West Regional Conference on Friday 13th October 2023.
This event is for CIPFA Students living, studying or working in the North-West. Students will join the main conference for the morning session, before breaking out into a separate student-only event in the afternoon with guest speakers and an interview tips/coaching session.
After the afternoon break, students will re-join the main session for the close and then students are invited to stay for the graduation presentation to newly qualified members.
All delegates are invited to join us in the evening for our autumn dinner at the beautiful Queen Hotel at Chester. Please book separately using the dinner booking link.
This event counts towards off the job learning for apprentices. The day event is free to attend for students and includes lunch and light refreshments. However, we are limited to 25 student places, so please book early to avoid missing out.
