Now in its 19th year, the event's exhibition will bring together around 100 UK and international exhibitors, while the world-renowned conference will feature industry- leading speakers from across the globe. Alongside this are several inspiring free features including the ever-popular free seminar programme, the Professional Development Zone, the Social Learning Zone and the International Zone, which attracts L&D buyers from overseas. Together these features make the World of Learning Conference & Exhibition the essential date in the diary for all leading L&D professionals each year.
Visitors to the exhibition will find companies offering the latest in ideas in all sectors of L&D, from e-learning, using social media in learning and consultancy, to experiential learning, coaching and informal learning. Leading organisations taking part include Thales Training & Consultancy, Kaplan IT Learning, Seminar Learning System, LSN, SalesAssessment.com, Priority Management and Jigsaw@work.
As companies start to focus on business beyond the recession, HR and L&D professionals are now collaborating more closely than ever, particularly on issues such as organisational development and talent management. This comes at a time when, according to research by Future Think, 74 per cent of management professionals in many of the most innovative organisations see the influence of L&D expanding in the immediate future*.
Both the exhibition and conference are designed to enable L&D specialists to develop their skills and consult their peers and experts in order to equip them with the capabilities to succeed in the current and future business environment.
The highly respected conference reflects the current business market and future direction of the industry, addressing and providing valuable insight into the key issues facing L&D, from talent management, employee engagement, leadership development and coaching, to informal learning, collaborative learning, e-learning development and proving ROI. An impressive programme of top-class speakers will be announced in June. The World of Learning Conference is a CPD-certified event, providing delegates with a CPD Certificate of Attendance.
Free features within the exhibition will include: an extensive programme of informative free seminars, sponsored by TrainingZone.co.uk, offering practical advice on the key current L&D issues; the Experiential Learning Zone, facilitated by Pearlcatchers, providing hands-on sessions about creativity and communication; the Professional Development Zone, hosted by the British Institute for Learning & Development (BILD), where experts offer invaluable careers advice; the Social Learning Zone; the International Zone, supported by UKTI, bringing L&D decision-makers from a variety of markets worldwide; skills workshops; the Workplace Wellness Zone; the Trainer Base; and the Business & Networking Lounge.
In conjunction with the World of Learning, the Guardian will be publishing a supplement about L&D, which will be distributed within the newspaper on 10 September. The supplement will provide high quality editorial offering important insight into many of the topical issues to be discussed at the World of Learning.
"L&D professionals are facing a rapidly changing environment with a variety of new issues and opportunities that were not around before the recession. A visit to the event will ensure they are up-to-date with the latest thinking in every aspect of the industry and provide cost-efficient solutions to their needs," said Andrew Gee, Senior Project Manager for the World of Learning.
