Our CIH events are built for our members, with content centred around current issues and inner workings of the sector. We would ask all individuals who attend our CIH event to be kind to all, act with integrity and respect, maintain a professional demeanour, and be accountable and responsible during your time with us.
Dinner speaker
Kriss Akabusi MBE, Olympian, media personality, motivational speaker and businessman
Kriss rose to fame on the athletics track, having begun his international athletics career in 1983 as a member of the 4 x 400 metre relay squad. He will always be remembered for helping Great Britain clinch gold from the mighty Americans at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo. Having amassed three Olympic medals, as well as World, European and Commonwealth titles, Kriss was bestowed with an even greater honour in 1992: an MBE awarded by her Majesty the Queen in recognition of his services to the country through athletics.
Kriss is also a qualified life coach, having earned his Masters in existential coaching.
Making this event more sustainable
We believe we have a responsibility to be more sustainable across our organisation and this means making positive changes to the way we run our events. This event will be delivered to the highest quality whilst we also ensure they reduce our environmental impact.
Here is a summary of some of the steps we are taking to do this:
- Where printing is necessary, sustainable and recyclable materials will be used as much as possible
- Catering will be responsibly sourced
- Ensuring our suppliers are using recyclable materials where possible
- All CIH staff will aim to minimize their carbon footprint for each journey, and we will encourage our guests and sponsors to do the same.
