Our Events
Every year the CIOB organises hundreds of CPD and networking events, award ceremonies and competitions across the globe.
Supporting Our Members
We’re all united in a passion for our industry, but we’re also passionate about the people who make up this community. This is why through CIOB Assist we offer support on everything from financial concerns to mental health issues and training help.
Professional Development
Like most professional bodies, we believe it’s essential for members to keep up to date with the latest developments and knowledge in their field – it’s called Continuing Professional Development.
