Our Design

The DESIGN PROCESS of Learning 2008 is a key part of the excitement and effectiveness of Elliott Masie's events.

Starting in January, we have been building a DESIGN TEAM of over 400 learning leaders from Fortune 500 Learning and Training Departments. The DESIGN TEAM is defining the key themes and focus areas for Learning 2008. These include:

Learning Effectiveness
Learning Design
Learning Strategy
Learning Technology & Systems
Learning Professionals: Our Careers & Competencies
Learning Experimentation & Research
Learning Delivery (Classroom, On-Line, Performance Support)
Learning Globally

These themes will evolve and expand as you and others register for Learning 2008. We will engage each participant in advocating for the key discussions and expertise that will help you face the future of learning in your organization and career.

The types of Learning Activities at Learning 2008 include:

General Sessions: Highly Interactive Interviews with Global Leaders & Thinkers
Learning Industry Communities: Benchmark & Network with Colleagues in Your Field
Learning Challenge Sessions: Tackle a Graduate Level Case Study on a Learning Challenge
Nano-Seminars: Over 60 Seminars Led by Participants with Micro-Level Solutions

Once again, these will evolve and change over the design period from now to October 26th.
