The 2023 CFI Annual Conference saw a return to a full in-person event with expert speakers, guest speakers, 60th anniversary celebrations and more, and took place in Dunboyne Castle on the 31st March and 1st April 2023.
As CFI celebrated 60 years this year, being able to return to a safe, in-person event this year made it even more special. To mark our 60th year, we were especially excited to bring our members the first screening of our 60th anniversary documentary at the conference, which is available for you to watch here or below.
The conference was live streamed and some of the recordings are now available. Keep an eye out for further recordings as they become available.
