To mark the start of our 75th Anniversary celebrations, we will hold a special event on Thursday 2 February 2023 hosted by CIPR President 2023, Steve Shepperson-Smith.

A short service will take place at St Bride's Church at 11.30am – where the Institute was founded – and members of all faiths are warmly invited to join us and guest speakers to commemorate our 75 years and look to our future. 

Guest speakers:

• Simon Lewis OBE Hon FCIPR, Vice Chair EMEA, FTI Consulting and IPR President 1997 

• Anne Gregory Hon FCIPR, Professor of Corporate Communication, University of Huddersfield and CIPR President 2004

• Avril Lee MCIPR, Head of Health Europe, Zeno Group and Chair of CIPR Diversity & Inclusion Network

An opportunity to come together

The service will be followed by a celebratory gathering at Humble Grape, a unique and atmospheric venue in the original crypts of St Bride’s Church, from 12.30 – 3.00pm. This is a brilliant opportunity for members to come together to enjoy drinks, canapés, and networking. Members from across the generations will be joining us, from our longest standing members to our future industry leaders.
