World of Learning Conference & Exhibition Event Guide
Karen Velasco Chairman
The British Institute for Learning and
Development World of Learning speaker
Welcome to the World of Learning 2011
It is vital that companies invest in their staff to ensure the future success of their business, especially at a time when the economy remains unstable. This year’s World of Learning focuses on how nurturing talent and creating high performance working can help businesses revitalise and emerge from the recession as leaders in their field. It also gives a valuable insight into the latest communication methods and how L&D is rapidly evolving to meet time and budget constraints. We are delighted to bring you a world-class conference programme
featuring high-profile speakers, case studies and discussion forums. Alongside the conference, the World of Learning Conference & Exhibition presents the latest learning solutions from the UK’s leading suppliers, plenty of networking opportunities and a free comprehensive seminar programme offering practical advice from the experts. Once again, the exhibition is packed with free advisory services and
workshops, including one-to-one consultations with the British Institute for Learning & Development (BILD), engaging and inspiring workshops at the Experiential Learning Zone and the chance to meet key decision makers and potential overseas partners at the International Zone, in association with UK Trade & Investment. New to this year’s show, the Leaders in Learning Zone puts you in touch with senior managers at some of the industry’s brightest and most innovative learning providers. Finally, the Happiness at Work Zone looks at how to engage people on a
personal and professional level in the workplace and how to create the right environment for positivism and productivity. It should be a sure way to brighten up your day!
We hope you have an enjoyable and rewarding show.
I have attended the World of Learning Conference and Exhibition for a number of years now in a number of guises: as an exhibition visitor, a conference delegate, a speaker, and a panellist. In my lengthy career in L&D, the World of Learning has always been one of the ‘must do’ events for me, and that is down to its wide appeal to anyone engaged in any aspect of the profession. The conference itself always attracts high quality speakers and interesting case studies. The exhibition has a mix of suppliers – the usual big names alongside more niche-market, quirky providers. Even if you miss out on the conference there is always the opportunity to attend a range of stimulating seminars, which are free of charge – an ideal way to make sure that we update and refresh our thinking in all matters relating to L&D. This year, for the first time, I am
attending as Chairman of the British Institute for Learning and Development (BILD). The BILD has been a long-term supporter of the World of Learning, providing speakers from our membership base, hosting events for international visitors, and running the Professional Development Zone – with advisors on hand to discuss matters on a one-to-one basis.
One of the things that attracted me
Andrew Gee Senior Project Manager World of Learning Conference & Exhibition
to working in L&D was its dynamic, ever-changing nature – with new tools and techniques, theories and concepts being launched all the time. In the current economic climate it is essential that as L&D professionals we keep up to date with these changes and embrace all that the profession has to offer. The World of Learning 2011 promises to give us all the opportunity to refresh our ‘toolkits’ in a cost-effective manner... and of course the opportunity to network with old friends and new.
