"We're getting people to think about digital-learning interventions as the ingredients to drive improved performance, rather than viewing them as standalone solutions," said Liam O'Meara, Head of Sales and Marketing at Sponge UK. "We'll be asking people to consider the best possible digital mix for their organisation, now and in the future."

Liam added, "Of course, it wouldn't be Sponge without a sprinkling of fun! Visitors to our Exhibition Hub will get a delicious handmade cupcake to decorate with colourful toppings, each one representing different digital-learning elements. We'll be taking lots of photos and posting them on social media under #spongeLT17."

Sponge's stand at location C10 also features Innovation Corner, where visitors will experience new learning technologies. There will be regular demonstrations of interactive 360° video, the award-winning Axonify employee knowledge platform, and the latest eLearning games.

As the official UK partner for Axonify, Sponge will be introducing the platform to the Learning Technologies audience for the first time. Visitors to the Sponge exhibition stand (C10) will be able to see a demonstration of the technology and find out how it can build and sustain workforce knowledge.
