CIEP Conference 2026

More than words: The evolving role of the editorial professional

The CIEP Conference returns on 11 and 12 September – and we’d love you to join us.

Whether you’re a CIEP member or not, the conference is a chance to come together with editorial professionals from across the industry, either in person or online, to explore fresh ideas, build your skills and reconnect (or connect for the first time) with colleagues and friends who understand the work you do.

This year’s programme focuses on how the role of the editorial professional is evolving and the skills that help us go beyond producing great work to becoming trusted collaborators and advisers. Expect thoughtful sessions, practical insights and plenty of opportunities to learn from each other.
