Following the phenomenal success of last year, we are thrilled to announce the return of our flagship CIMA networking and CPD event at Chatsworth House. This is shaping up to be one of the must‑attend finance events of the year for management accountants and finance professionals across the region.

High‑quality content you can rely on

We’re already delighted to confirm that the Grant Thornton team, as well as Prof Andy Miah will be returning after delivering a hugely well‑received sessions back in 2025, and we are currently securing additional high‑calibre speakers to build a programme packed with practical insight, strategic perspective and genuine CPD value.

➡️ More sessions and speakers will be announced very soon, and they will be absolutely worth the wait.

An unforgettable venue (and yes, you will want the tour)

Our venue is not just a setting, it’s an experience.

Steeped in history and character, this remarkable house has played host to centuries of stories, innovation and change. From its striking architecture to its beautifully preserved interiors, it provides a truly inspiring backdrop for learning, conversation and connection.

Exceptional food & hospitality

Great conversations deserve great food - and this year will be no exception. Expect high‑quality catering, beautifully presented and thoughtfully curated, making the day feel more like a premium experience than a standard conference.

If you joined us last year, you're in for a change - for the 2026 edition, we've hired The Burligton Room where the lunch will take place, so that we leave the CPD back at The Hartington Room and enjoy a slightly different setting with our food.

More space = more connections

One of the biggest updates for 2026: We’ve secured additional on‑site space, allowing us to welcome more attendees than ever before. That means:

More meaningful networking

More diverse perspectives

More opportunities to connect with fellow CGMAs and finance professionals

Unsure still? Here's some of last year's feedback:

Best CIMA event I have been to. Lovely location and interesting guest speakers.

The presentations on the whole were very good, range of topics, quality of speakers. Location was wonderful. Overall reflected good value.

Great conference... Covered 6 hours CPD in one day in a great location and was excellent value for money.

Early bird member rate made this exceptional value but I’d have considered the full rate good value too considering quality of location, refreshments and the presentations
