We are excited to announce a series of FREE activities on Sunday, October 26th! Over the next few months, we'll be announcing various task forces, work groups, courses, mentoring sessions and summits on a wide variety of learning topics that Learning 2008 attendees are welcome to attend absolutely free of charge. We will also be planning some fun activities and tours. Expect details on these activities in the coming weeks; additional options will be announced over the summer and early fall.

We are honored to announce another Keynote Thought Leader: Sue Gardner, Wikipedia - Wikimedia Executive Director. Sue will explore how corporations can balance collaborative technology with issues such as legal liability and compliance. We will also explore how to bring together multiple generations of workers in a shared collaborative environment.

We have just booked the leading ABBA Tribute Band - Arrival, from Sweeden. They are flying 14 band members direct to Orlando for the Learning 2008 Party.

ABBA songs from "Mama Mia" to "Dancing Queen" will be performed by this awesome group for you and your family. Listen and Dance... even don some "retro clothes"! Watch a video on their website: http://www.arrival.se under the video segment.

You and your family are going to love the ABBA Party on Tuesday night, Oct 28th!
