Learning Trends 2009: A free, online conference for Business Learning
In the Corporate Learning arena I’ve been following George Siemens, Tony Karrer, and Jay Cross for quite a while. I was intrigued to see in Jay’s Internet Time Blog that they’ve announced that the third annual conference on Corporate Learning Trends & Innovation which will take place online November 17, 18, and 19, 2009.
This year’s topic is Convergence in Corporate Learning. Mark your calendar to participate and to network with fellow corporate learning professionals.
LearnTrends tackles topics you won’t find at the conferences you have to travel to. The event is free. Events are live & online and will be recorded.
We are open to your suggestions: email us or leave a comment at LearnTrends.com.
Marking my calendar, this sounds like a great learning opportunity!
About the author
Marianne Lenox holds a degree in Communications and a background in theater which helped her bluff her way through a varied list of jobs that included retail management and outside sales. As a stay-at-home-mom in the mid 90’s, she decided to learn about the Internet and computers instead of watching soap operas and drinking Bloody Mary's. Between diaper changes she volunteered at her local library branch of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library in Alabama and ultimately became a library employee as the children entered school. Serving in several different capacities, Marianne found her true calling in library administration as the Staff Training and Development Coordinator in 2004. She is also involved with public training classes, heads the disaster team and is the United Way fundraising chair. Her duties were expanded to include volunteer relations in 2008 when she was named Staff & Volunteer Development Coordinator for HMCPL. Her interests include learning in work, personal and social environments, presentation style and delivery, and greater knowledge through networking and technology. Marianne is an entertaining speaker and knowledgeable trainer to library groups and other organizations on a variety of topics. She also blogs at mariannelenox.com, still insisting that her Internet addiction is a Good Thing.

On Demand Training for Staff

The kind that happens when you’re walking down the hallway and someone stops you with a question. Or hearing someone talking about a problem in a meeting and knowing you have solution you can offer.
I’m not More >
