Just curious to find out from other folks who might be heading to the conference what their main focus might be this year?

Faced with a 12% reduction in revenues over the next 4 years since the government implemented change in our sector via the July 2015 Summer Budget measures, our business has worked hard to operate smarter, protect our income streams, modernise and diversify.One of the key outcomes and a focus for us therefore is to drive and deliver a significant digital channel shift agenda to help drive efficiencies both through our employees and our customers.

Can you guess which seminars I'll be heading to then? ;-)

  • Woo hoo! The CIPD Events app is now live! Download it if you are heading to the event and witness the power of this fully armed and operational guide to the event!

    It helped me out last year so much keeping up with the pace of the event and events all around the conference as a planner and note of attendees and people Id met.

    Go on...you know it makes sense. There's now a built in Leaderboard, so Im sure that all you Twitterers can have a competition who Tweets the most.... ;-)

    • Be good to see how the app has developed. 

      I wrote a blog about the app after a trip to US a couple of years ago 

      Bringing the Disney experience to Conferences

      • I love apps! (does that sound so bad?!).

        Im not sure if they did any user evaluations or anything after last year...it doesn't seem to have any listings for the many free events, which I believe are equally valuable (and often more) to the paid seminars.

  • I'm presenting and looking forward to catching up with old and new faces at the event and at the L&D Connect too.

    • Sounds like fun! What are you presenting on?

  • Hi Jason 

    The DPG team will be exhibiting on stand 537 and it would be great it you came over and we could meet IRL (in real life) lol.

    I'm doing a free seminar on the Wednesday 2.15-2.45 called:

    Using Social and Collaborative Learning to Drive Innovation and Organisational Performance in the Technology for Learning area.

    http://www.cipd.co.uk/events/learning-development-show/exhibition/f...

    There is also a networking event straight after the first day organised by L&D Connect and it's a great opportunity to meet other like minded L&D people in a relaxed setting over a beer (or soft drink)

    You can register for the event here

    • Sounds like a really interesting session, Mike. Will you be sharing some of your thinking here - a sneak preview?!

      Martin

      • Yes definitely - gone with a different look and feel - managed to get Simon Heath to do some art work for it. Hoping it will land right.

        Will share a link asap 

    • Argh - looks like, as always, sessions will clash. Im in a paid seminar at 2.15 so will miss yours. But will definitely come across and say hi.

      Ive signed up for the L&D connect session via EventBrite with Julie, missed it last year, will try a second time to come along if I can.

      • What a shame but be great to meet on stand when you get chance and perhaps have a chat over at the L&D Connect event :)

        Also would love it if you wrote up what you take away from the Conference here on the Community.
