How to experience the CIPD Conference without leaving the comfort of your own home

As many of the readers of HR Case Studies will know, the annual CIPD HR Conference is taking place this week in Manchester.

Clearly getting there will be a problem for those HR Case Studies readers based in (I jest not) French Polynesia, Guadeloupe, or the Turks and Caicos Islands.

So if you're one of those who will unfortunately be absent from the CIPD conference, here's a way to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of the event from the comfort of your own kitchen.

1. Download the attached document
2. Print the document on good quality paper
3. Cut out all the words into separate strips of paper
4. Choose a selection of terms (carefully extracted from this year's conference programme)
5. Apply glue to the back of your selected terms
6. Arrange your selected terms into a (possibly) meaningful sentence which may (or may not) be uttered by one of the conference speakers
7. Apply to a flat surface of your choice
8. Stand back and observe your handiwork
9. Marvel at the result
10. Share your learning with other HR Case Studies readers
