Sponsorship and Exhibiting

Sponsoring our events is a fantastic way of connecting your brand to the some of the biggest events in the career development calendar, benefiting from the CDI's reputation for high-quality, professional and engaging events.

Our extensive pre- and post-event communications adds enormous value to headline sponsors, and our exhibitor packages enables your organisation to engage directly with event attendees. We offer standard packages that can be adjusted to meet your needs.  

Key opportunities are: 

  • UK Career Development Awards: Sponsor individual awards or the whole ceremony. 
  • CDI National Conference: Held every other year with themes linking careers strategy and practice. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities. 
  • National Careers Leaders' Conference: Annual conference for Careers Leaders, Careers Advisers and Enterprise Coordinators. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities.
  • Online conferences, such as National Practitioner Research Conference, Scotland CPD Conference and England & Wales Student Conference. Sponsorship opportunities.

Sponsored webinars

The CDI offers an extensive range of online CPD through free webinars and paid-for expert masterclasses. We also offer organisations the opportunity to reach the profession through one or a series of sponsored webinars.

These webinars allow organisations to present to, and engage with, CDI members and the wider profession. They typically run for up to an hour and are hosted and promoted by the CDI. As they are free to attend for anyone, they can reach more professionals and the sponsoring organisation can also promote to their own network.

Sponsored webinars will be recorded and made available on the CDI website for anyone to watch, for 12 months following the webinar.

Bespoke packages

We support a number of clients with bespoke annual or longer-term packages that combine advertising, sponsorship and exhibiting. Discounts are available on the rate-card for larger packages and longer-term commitments.
