LEARNING LIVE 2015 conference programme announced

UKLearning NewsLPI (Learning and Performance Institute)

The line-up for the LPI's annual conference and exhibition dedicated solely to the Learning and Development sector is announced.

 

The Learning and Performance Institute's annual conference, LEARNING LIVE, is for all learning & development managers, Chief Learning Officers, HR managers, trainers and training managers looking to expand and develop their skills, network with thought-leaders and keep up to date with the latest developments in the field of L&D.

Taking place in London at 155 Bishopsgate on 9th and 10th September 2015, the conference features 15 highly-focussed and relevant sessions by leading L&D experts, 10 interactive business solution workshops from L&D technology practitioners and vendors, live debates, a keynote session and a networking dinner with after-dinner speaker.

For 2015, LEARNING LIVE is moving away from the traditional speaker+presentation+audience model and towards a more interactive, "lecture-free" approach, where delegates are actually working and collaborating with the presenters.
