Signed in January, the arrangement will allow IOR members to attend selected CIBSE conferences at a discounted rate. The events included are:
- CIBSE Technical Symposium: 26–27 March 2026
- CIBSE Decarbonisation Conference: April 2026
- CIBSE Climate Adaptation and Resilience Conference: October 2026.
CIBSE members will also be encouraged to take part in IOR’s programme of webinars and events, particularly those focused on refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps.
IOR Chief Executive Miriam Rodway MInstR said the collaboration would broaden access to technical material and support ongoing skills development. “We are delighted to be sharing the IOR’s hugely popular and growing range of technical events with the wider building services audience. Collaborations such as these serve to strengthen the whole sector, expand the Institute’s influence, and provide more offerings to members. With skills and education continuing as our main strategic theme this year, this arrangement with CIBSE is another example of putting this into practice.”
CIBSE Services Managing Director Simon Parker welcomed the partnership, noting that the organisations will work together across a range of events during 2026.
Bookings are now open for the CIBSE Technical Symposium. Further details are available at www.cibse.org/cibse-technical-symposium-2015. Information on upcoming IOR webinars and events can be found at www.ior.org.uk/events.
