International conference

This international show from VNU brings together leading practitioners, vendors and suppliers from across the world. From the USA comes the Conference Chair Gloria Gery, whose elevation to Training magazine's (US) Hall of Fame recognises the immense contribution she has made to interactive learning and performance support. Other headline speakers from America include e-learning analyst Bryan Chapman, e-learning strategist Marc Rosenberg, E-Learning Vice President Janet Lecuyer, and experiential learning exponent Roger Schank. The European keynotes are headed up by Jane Massy whose work with organisations across Europe provides a markedly different, but equally compelling, perspective on e-learning.

Key themes at the conference include getting ready for online learning; preventing e-dropouts; integrating knowledge management and online learning; creating e-learning strategy; and understanding e-learning standards. The programme includes panel discussions, breakout sessions and case studies. European and American presenters will ensure multiple perspectives on the online learning industry.
