The biggest gathering of HR professionals in the UK took place this week at the CIPD annual conference 2009, which took place at Manchester Central, Manchester.

A lot has been tweeted and written on the conference so I wanted to provide some links to this very useful content. So much was generated that I have linked to some feeds.

Please add other links in the comments section as I'd like this post to become a useful resource.

However, asks Graham, did this just represent a navel-gazing exercise for the professsion?
