Kelly Holmes & Gordon Ramsey to speak at HRD 2005

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has released details of speakers at its HRD 2005 Conference and Exhibition. The conference has over 40 seminars linking case studies, interactive workshops, debates and speakers who include:

• Gordon Ramsey, award winning chef, on performing under pressure
• Kelly Holmes, double Olympic gold medallist on self-belief, tenacity and motivation to succeed
• Sir John Stevens, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, on being a successful business leader
• Becky Martin, performance consultant, Terminal 5 BAA and Andrew Thompson, Junior Doctors Committee, British Medical Association, on creating a learning culture

Over 300 providers of learning, training and development products and services will be taking part in the HRD 2005 Exhibition, which runs alongside the conference.

The event also marks the launch of the CIPD's annual learning, training and development survey. The CIPD expect this year's results to show a continued growth in training methods such as coaching and e-learning. Early indications also suggest that the vast majority of employers expect existing skills shortages to get worse over the next three years.

The CIPD's HRD 2005 Conference and Exhibition will take place at London Olympia from 12 - 14 April 2005.
