Learning Technologies, Europe’s leading workplace learning event, is to move to ExCeL London in 2019. Having outgrown its current venue and its home for the last 18 years, Learning Technologies is to move across the capital to ExCeL London on 13-14 February 2019 where it has ambitious plans for growth at the new venue.

According to event organiser Mark Penton: “We are now ready to take the Learning Technologies Conference and Exhibition to the next stage and build a truly world-class event for all those involved in workplace learning and the technology which supports it.”

“We have outgrown our current venue and the move to ExCeL London in 2019 opens up a wide range of exciting opportunities for the event as it continues to grow and develop,” added Penton.

Learning Technologies will be one of the first events at ExCeL London to benefit from the new cross-London route created by the Elizabeth line, opening later this year. This new events superhighway is set to transform the way that people travel across the capital, making it easier, faster and more convenient to get to events at ExCeL. With a dedicated Elizabeth line station at Custom House for ExCeL London, visitors to Learning Technologies will be able to travel from the venue to central London and the West End in under 15 minutes and Heathrow Airport in just 43 minutes.

“Learning Technologies is a fantastic event which has enjoyed great success over the last few years” says James Campion, Head of Exhibition Sales at ExCeL London, “we are looking forward to welcoming the team to ExCeL London and working with them to create an environment in which the show can flourish and achieve ambitious plans for growth.”
