natcon 2008

i’m preparing to staff a booth at natcon, the national career development and workforce learning event at the doubletree intl hotel in toronto.

some of the highlights i hope to catch are:

• the training response to business issues - how smes rise to the challenge: a global perspective
• neighbourhood intervention through community collaboration
• get smart using the workplace informal learning matrix to recognize learning
• overcoming barriers to work-related learning: effective, innovative, and promising canadian practices and programs
• learning online: flexible professional development for busy career and hr management specialists
• building successful community business education partnerships

and one of the most interesting sessions that i’m hoping to attend:

• getting serious with elearning: move from page-turners to serious gaming and web 2.0 tools to increase productivity, performance, and knowledge transfer

hopefully i’ll be able to attend a number of these and report back here on the ones i can get to.
