In a very short time, Web 2.0 and digital technologies now find themselves crucially affecting the future of learning, and we’re looking forward to David Puttnam opening the conference and setting the scene for two days of debate.”

Organisational learning expert Josh Bersin will open day two of the conference, speaking on the topic of: ‘Informal learning: new strategies and practices for greater business impact’.

Taylor adds: “Learning budgets are being challenged to deliver greater value through informal learning, so we’ve asked Josh Bersin to explore how informal learning can be used to deliver greater value in business and how learning organisations can set themselves along this path.”
