World of Learning Conference & Exhibition 2014

Be inspired: free features and seminars showcase the latest industry thinking at World of Learning

Experiential learning, cutting edge technology, professional development, mindfulness, skills workshops, team building activities and career progression are all on offer at this year’s World of Learning.

The UK’s most comprehensive learning event takes place 30 September and 1 October 2014 at Birmingham’s NEC and has many free interactive features and seminars which will appeal to L&D professionals. Key industry issues will be covered along with expert advice, networking and guidance – all under one roof.

New for this year is the Mindfulness Zone where visitors can discover why Silicon Valley has dubbed this training technique ‘the new caffeine’. Through instructional workshops from mindfulness experts, visitors can sample the techniques for themselves and understand how they can be successfully integrated into the workplace to combat stress. The Team Building Zone, also introduced this year, is a fun area where attendees can connect with their peers at a variety of group activities and take away ideas to implement in their own workplace. Also new for this year is Team Tonic, where a team of experts from the Learning Architect will equip visitors with strategies for sustaining productivity and resilience in the workplace.

The popular Technology Test Drive area offers visitors the opportunity to sample cutting edge L&D technology away from the exhibition stands and at their own pace. Visitors from overseas can meet with leading suppliers in a one-to one environment at the International Zone, facilitated by UK Trade & Investment

Alongside these free features are a vast range of educational and interactive seminars. The Experiential Learning Zone has a series of bite-sized skill sessions on key areas such as emotional intelligence and fusion learning. Visitors can enhance their own skill set at the Professional Skill Workshops
