ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN has been a fixture on the calendars of experts in eLearning and Distance Learning for many years, and in 2005 the number of participants from all over the world who will gather at this stellar event will exceed 2,000 for the first time! I am convinced their expectations are going to be met and surpassed.
ICWE GmbH, the organisers, have always been masterful in putting together a conference that stages a high-value programme in an extremely pleasant professional atmosphere, but this year's gathering is set to be the most substantial and productive in the history of ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN. Featured are exciting keynotes presented by high-profile experts like Dr. Brandon Hall, regional forums on the Asian-Pacific, Middle Eastern and other dynamic learning markets, a specialist session on Defence and Security, as well as finely focussed sessions like "eLearning in the CIS states" or the -œFuture- Plenary with Sir John Daniel, CEO of Commonwealth of Learning, Canada…
But it's not all work and no fun. To strengthen not only the transfer of expertise but also the networking element, a party is being held on Thursday evening, December 1 in the FELIX Club Restaurant, next to the Brandenburg Gate. The idea is to give attendees a chance to unwind and become familiar with each other and some of the city's amenities in an exclusive yet authentic-Berlin ambiance.
Participants can look forward to varied, eventful days and evenings that are rich in information and the opportunity to learn, share, and learn some more.
As a news service for the eLearning industry and media partner of ONLINE EDUCA, CHECKpoint eLearning would also like to accompany you after the conference. You will find us in the Berlin Inter-Continental at booth C 91 and always online at www.checkpoint-elearning.com.
