CIRIA has many years’ experience of professionally managing a number of Learning Networks.
The Construction Productivity Network (CPN) and Construction Industry Environmental Forum (CIEF) are both over 10 years old and each have around 200 corporate members. They are events-based, and between them provide around 70 workshops and seminars per year held in different parts of the UK. Key features include the involvement of industry-practitioner speakers, the opportunity for detailed discussions both between speakers and ‘the floor’ and also between attendees themselves, and the transmission of event summaries to all registered members of the networks.
