From January 2021, CIPA changed the way it funds the webinar programme. Previously CIPA charged members per webinar attended, but from 2021 the cost will be incorporated into the annual membership fee. The good news for us is that there will be no increase in membership fee for students, and there will be no charge to attend any of CIPA’s webinars. See here for a video in which CIPA Chief Executive, Lee Davies, explains the reasons for this change.
Links to slides and recordings of the Foundation Lectures and other CIPA events are available on the CIPA website.
