CPD Seminars
Members
CPD events are free for Chartered members, FCSIs, MCSIs, ACSIs and
Affiliates. Students are entitled to attend four events free per year.
If you have booked and are unable to attend please head to the
My Events section in MyCISI to
cancel your booking within 24 hours of an event, so that the place can be
made available to another member on the waiting list. There is no charge
for cancellations made up to 24 hours prior to the event.
Non-members
For non-members, cancellations received up until two days prior to the
event will not incur any charge. Any cancellations received within 48
hours of the event will incur a 50% charge. No refund will be given for
cancellations received on the day of the event.
Up to 48 hours prior to the event non-members may transfer to another
event free of charge, subject to available places. Any price differential
will be refunded or charged as relevant. Any transfers received within 48
hours of the event will incur a 50% charge.
Non-members may send a substitute to an event in their place.
The Financial Planning Conference
A full refund will be given if a cancellation is received more than one month in advance of the conference.
50% of the fee will be refunded for cancellations received up to 10 working days prior to the conference. No
refund will be given within 10 working days of the conference, including for illness, unexpected life events
or other personal reasons. Tickets cannot be rolled over to The Financial Planning Conference 2026 or any
other CISI event.
Attendees may send a substitute to an event in their place subject to a transfer fee of £50+ VAT per
booking. If the substitute is subject to a different price or, if they amend any elements of the booking
including upgrades or new purchases, the differential will be charged at the point of the transfer as
relevant. No refunds will be issued for any reduction in package within 10 working days of the event.
Should it be necessary to reduce numbers in the venue, delegates will be invited to attend in the order
booked. From time to time it may be necessary for the CISI to reschedule or cancel a conference, in this
case all attendees will be offered a free transfer to the new date, alternative conference or a full refund.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to reimburse any additional expenses including travel.
Event material, where it is available, will automatically be sent to the registered delegate.

that my name and firm, will be included in the conference attendance list.

Professional Forums
Professional Forums events are free for Chartered members, FCSIs, MCSIs, ACSIs
and Affiliates. Students are entitled to attend one event of each of the
nine forums per year.
If you have booked and are unable to attend we ask that you email
events@cisi.org at least 24 hours
before the event, or cancel your booking online via the
My Events section in MyCISI, so
that the place can be made available to another member on the waiting
list. Transfers and substitutions are not usually available please email
as above to discuss.
Photography, Filming and Recording at our Events
The CISI has photographs taken and has film/video and/or audio recordings
made of a number of its events for use on our website, for promotional
publicity and for other purposes in printed and digital media including
online CPD opportunities, newsletters and publications, which may be seen
throughout the world. Whilst attendees and audiences at events are not
normally the focus of these photos or recordings, we reserve the right to
capture both photographs and audio visual from all of our events. If you
attend our events after a booking has been made for you using our standard
booking conditions or you accept an invitation from us, you will be
regarded as having accepted this and to have agreed that we may make use
of any rights attaching to any images or recordings for the purposes set
out above. Should you wish to discuss your participation at an event
please contact the Events team in advance of the event at events@cisi.org or speak with the on-site team on the day.
Where the focus of the photography or recordings is of individuals or
small groups, we will always try to obtain those individuals' consent to
use of their image or recordings of them. Where we have not been able to
obtain consent from the individuals involved, for example, because we do
not have names or contact details of the relevant individuals, we will use
such images or recordings with general descriptions only (eg. pictured
left to right are attendees at the CISI Annual Conference). We will not
use information, such as names, unless we have obtained your written
consent.
For further information please contact
marketing@cisi.org
External CISI TV Providers
As part of our commitment to provide as broad content as possible CISI
wishes to recommend alternative sources of online CPD to our members via
CISI TV. The CISI TV External Providers Policy outlines our verification
and approval process for this content.
Please note: The content on CISI TV is not recorded for the purpose of
replacing professional advice and no responsibility is taken if used in
this capacity.
Travel Disruption
In the event of predicted widespread travel disruption (such as tube
strikes or adverse weather conditions) we will keep attendees informed of
decisions regarding the cancellation/continuation of the event. When it is
possible the disruption will not occur, we will reserve our decision until
we have certainty of the impact. We reserve the right to continue with an
event if disruption occurs, particularly if a seminar is being filmed for
CISI TV. Should we continue despite travel disruption and many delegates
are unable to attend they will not be charged the non-attendance fee.
Where possible, fee-based events will continue as planned and delegates
should make alternative travel arrangements. If fee-based events are
rescheduled, our normal Terms and Conditions will apply.
Delegates will be contacted first by email when the threat arises, and
again once a decision is made. The Events team can be contacted via email at events@cisi.org for
further information.
