Providing Inspiration for the Training Industry

Birmingham (UK), November 2007 - A highly impressive group of industry experts and leading practitioners will provide their insight into the latest trends in business learning and development at the World of Learning Conference 2007. Among the current topics to be addressed in this two-day programme are employing effective mobile learning, developing senior staff, and the realities of informal learning.




This year's conference, which takes place on 14 - 15 November at the NEC in Birmingham, features interactive seminars and workshops as well as discussion forums to help maximise the attendees' participation at the event. Delegates will also benefit from high-profile case studies from organisations including Barclaycard, BBC, Dorchester County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Reuters, and STA Travel.

For the first time, the Conference features a number of interactive workshops designed to equip delegates with the skills that will enable them to be more influential within their organisation. These hands-on sessions include how to become a better leader, developing influencing skills, and methods of motivating staff to undertake learning and development.
