And there is also the Table Talk I'm leading Monday at 3 PM "Training in the Twenty-First Century". Let's discuss how learning and teaching techniques have changed and how we adapt to those changes...

Advice: Be a sponge and absorb! 🙂

So much to learn in so little time... use the agenda to plan ahead and mark the presentations of interest, keep the conflicts and be fluid in making your decisions while there.

Kind Regards,
