I was suprised when reading CIPD’s ‘People Management’ dated 24th January to find no mention of the forthcoming Learning Technologies 2008 conference & exhibition taking place in London next week. This event is surely one that is highly relevant to Learning, Training & HR professionals. It’s theme is ‘driving workforce performance through learning & development’
Speakers include Jay Cross, Stephen Downes, Donald Taylor, & Clive Shepherd to name a few. Organisations include; BT, NHS, Cable & Wireless, Ikea, Toyota, & Sky. Phil Green from CIPD is also speaking…….
So why no mention?
Maybe I missed it, or a review after the event is planned, or it’s not considered news worthy, or……………….?

I’m really not surprised Lynn. There’s still a huge gap between the “traditional” perspectives on HR, training & Management and the more “forward-looking” views. One day CIPD will include elements of Learning Technologies, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening yet.
Thanks Mark. I don’t often feel like ranting but so easily could over this.
