One of the leading events for L&D and HR professionals, this year’s show is based around driving growth through agile learning, and will focus on new ways of meeting the needs of both inpidual learners and the wider organisation. The two-day conference has 29 sessions, each belonging to one of five streams covering key areas of learning and development for 2016.
The five streams are:

With the world of work constantly changing and with more generations than ever in the labour market, the ways people learn are evolving as well. It’s crucial that L&D professionals respond to these changes by being creative and agile, designing programmes to flex and suit their inpidual workforces but also by keeping their own knowledge and skills up to date. This year’s L&D Show is designed to do just this, providing interesting and innovative content in order to help professionals design effective learning programmes that are tailored to learner needs, contribute to overall organisational growth and support L&D professionals’ own development.
We’re delighted to be joining the CIPD once again at their Learning & Development Show. Demands on the L&D profession are increasingly complex, and this year’s line-up reflects the need for professionals to stay ahead of the game and be responsive to learner requirements. The programme has been designed to be interactive and inclusive, enabling knowledge sharing and networking between delegates, as well as introducing a number of thought leaders to consider the latest thinking and trends. We look forward to discussing how organisations can successfully move to blended learning in our masterclass, and to welcoming visitors to our stand at the exhibition
Running alongside the conference, the free L&D Show Exhibition gives conference delegates and visitors the chance to explore and assess a wide variety of learning and development services and resources under one roof. Key suppliers will be covering the whole spectrum of L&D activity including technologies and innovation, talent development and coaching.
As well as on-stand activities, launches and previews, the exhibition features a free programme of half-hour sessions, providing further tips and insights from suppliers and the CIPD:
