There will also be a session from Richard Mullender at The Listening Expert who is a former hostage negotiator with the Metropolitan Police. Mr Mullender will be speaking about listening, assertiveness and skills of negotiation.
There are almost 1,000 CFP professionals in the UK.
Sue Whitbread, communications director at the IFP, said: "The content of the conference is pitched at a level appropriate with their understanding and experience. It means we can skip the basics and jump straight to high-level content.
"Secondly, the fact that all delegates are CFPCM and have an equal level of experience gives a great opportunity for peer-group learning and discussions."
The conference is valid for 5.5 hours of structured CPD.
