The E-Learn Conference series is an annual, multidisciplinary, and international forum designed to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on the research, issues, developments, and applications of a broad range of eLearning topics. E-Learn is an innovative collaboration between eLearning researchers and practitioners from the corporate, government, healthcare, and higher-education sectors.

The coverage of a wide range of interrelated topics is one of the features that distinguishes the E-Learn conference series. Attendees are able to mix and match sessions to focus on the combination of topics that are of the most interest, concern, and benefit to them.

While there are keynote and invited talks delivered by internationally recognized technology experts, E-Learn is more of a participatory event. All attendees play an important, interactive role, offering valuable feedback and insight gained from their own experiences. A wealth of knowledge is exchanged, as professionals from disparate but related fields come from all over the world to meet and learn about new developments that impact their respective activities.

While E-Learn encourages commercial participation, it is not a trade show, and there is no exhibition. Instead, the Conference uniquely relates and displays commercial activities throughout the E-Learn programme in the form of Products/Services Showcase and other corporate presentations. Major sponsors receive special speaking and demonstration opportunities in addition to signage and "exhibit" space during the Conference.
