Professional development sits at the heart of stronger social value practice, and we're delighted to share that ISVCON 2026 has officially been certified by The CPD Certification Service.
The certification means that everyone who attended this year's conference can now count their participation towards their Continuing Professional Development (CPD), recognising the time invested in learning, collaboration and advancing professional practice.
Held on 22 June under the theme Leading the Future of Trusted Social Value, ISVCON 2026 brought together practitioners, leaders and organisations from across the social value profession to explore the ideas, evidence and leadership shaping the future of the sector.
From discussions on trusted measurement and governance to practical sessions on technology, procurement and community impact, the conference was designed to provide valuable learning that participants could take back into their organisations and apply in practice. The CPD Certification recognises the quality and relevance of that learning, reinforcing ISVCON's role as a leading event for professional development within the social value community.
If you attended ISVCON 2026, you can now include the conference hours within your CPD record as part of your ongoing professional development.
Continuing the learning
Professional development doesn't end with the conference. Throughout the year, the Institute for Social Value provides opportunities for practitioners and organisations to continue building their knowledge and capability.
