Delegate testimonials

I found the conferences greatly beneficial and being able to get direction and insight from leading experts.

The biggest benefit was taking a step away from the day job and being immersed in the wider workplace learning industry.

It was good to hear from industry experts about the future of L&D, to be challenged on our fear of metrics and to think about new ways of attracting and retaining talent and rewarding them more transparently.

There are too many good things to comment on, excellent conference!
