Mobile for Learning Leaders, Santa Clara

You missed it, but we had an awesome time on April 29th, 2014! Here’s what we covered..

A unique program covering everything you need to plan, create and deliver mobile learning in your organization.
Mobile. How has something so small made such an impact on our lives both at home, and at work? Mobile has fundamentally changed how we communicate, how we spend our money, how we work, and how we find out more about the world we live in. But what does this mean for Corporate Learning, Training and Development? What strategies can you adopt to leverage the power of mobile and benefit learning and development?
Why attend?
Mobile Learning is arriving in the workplace fast. In 2012, 45% of Learning Organizations were trying it. In 2013 that figure leapt to 71%! Brandon Hall reports that High Performing Organizations are twice as likely to be proactively preparing for mobile learning. This rapid adoption leaves little time for strategic leaders to pause and reflect on successes, or learn from failures. Even leading vendors are struggling to adapt fast enough.
Who is this for?
Mobile for Learning Leaders is our first ever mobile event designed exclusively for C-level and senior executives responsible for learning, development, technology and strategy. If you are charged with providing the best possible training and support to your employees, in times of reduced budget and increased focus on personal performance, join us for unique insights into how mobile can help. Please join us in a full day of stimulating, interactive discussion and insights with industry experts.
