CIEP conference 2025 call for contributions

We’re excited to be bringing back a call for contributions for this year’s conference. Speaking at the CIEP conference is your opportunity to share your knowledge, experience and insights with your fellow editorial professionals, while also engaging in your own CPD.  

This year’s theme is The Value of the Editorial Profession. Editorial standards are more important than ever. The rapid escalation of AI technology is bringing constant challenges, and the unstable economic situation has brought about cost-cutting pressures that impact our work and daily lives. The 2025 conference agenda will focus on discussions that seek to offer solutions to these challenges, as well as providing practical support and ideas to help you demonstrate the value that you bring to promoting excellence in English language editing and proofreading.

To share your session proposal for this year's conference, simply complete and submit the call for contributions form below by 5pm (GMT) on Friday 21 February

If you’re not quite ready to put yourself forward as a speaker, you can share your suggestions of the type of content you’d like to see at this year’s conference or a speaker you’d recommend on a specific topic by completing the session and speaker suggestions form at the bottom of this page by 5pm (GMT) on Friday 21 February.   

 

What are we looking for?  

We want to make sure this year’s conference offers something for everyone – from people who might be brand-new to the profession or just starting to dip their toe in, to more experienced professionals who understand the importance of maintaining their professional development.   

We’re also keen to see a variety of session formats. In particular, we’d like to include case study-based sessions, practical ‘how to’ workshops, roundtable discussions and/or debates, as well as the usual thought leadership content that members and delegates have come to expect from CIEP conferences.  

We want all conference delegates to come away from the event feeling inspired, informed and empowered to demonstrate their personal value as an editorial professional, as well as the importance of the profession as a whole.
