Elliott Masie Announces Learning Festival in NYC
New York, NY (USA), August 2023 - Imagine combining learning and Broadway! Profoundly evolving the Conference/Convention model, the Learning Festival is a unique gathering for learning and talent colleagues. The event is being hosted by Elliott Masie, Telly Leung, and the Learning Collaborative, 07-08 Nov in New York City.
Rather than traditional keynotes, trade shows, and one-way breakouts, the Learning Festival will be conversations, explorations, and discussions with 250 global learning colleagues and interactive interviews with provocative authors. Elliott Masie is bringing the magic of Broadway and storytelling, with amazing theater performers including Festival co-host Telly Leung, star of Aladdin and Allegiance.
Elliott Masie has combined thirty years of creating and producing global learning and performance events (including TechLearn, Learning Conference, eLearning Europe, and the original Computer Training and Support Conference) with his experience as a Tony-nominated Broadway producer (The Prom, Here Lies Love, Allegiance, Funny Girl, and Dan Lauria's Just Another Day) to create an engaging and dynamic two-day Learning Festival located in New York City’s Theater District.
