Here in Bristol’s medialand that is Siftmedia, a thought ocurred to us. The events team, editors and salespeople attend a lot of conferences and events over the course of a calendar year and, well, why not utilise our position as the UK’s foremost independent, award-winning online community for training professionals and stage our own? We have access to the best speakers, suppliers and industry know-how to engage our delegates so that they get a day of great speakers and value for money. And what’s more, the members were always asking us when we could runa an offline event where they could finally meet each other face to face.
 

So. TrainingZone Live was born, and this year we are returning. Many of you, HRzone readers came along last year and it was a great event for anyone interested in L&D and training.

What’s new, and what’s the same? The delineation of suppliers vs speakers was fed back as a success, so we’re keeping that format, but we’re further integrating the sessions so that there’s less of a divide between streams. Speaker-wise, we have the venerable Jim Kirkpatrick. A man from a training dynasty that needs little introduction. A success last year and sure to be a success this year. Even if you think you ‘know Kirkpatrick’ you will see the latest updates to the New World Kirkpatrick Four Levels that are informative for even the most seasoned training professionals. 

 

Also speaking this year is Dr Peter Honey, with his talk ‘It couldn’t happen to a trainer’. Peter’s anecdotal style not only demonstrates the power of storytelling, but it also engages and amuses the audience too. These sessions are sure to fill up quickly so book your place today.
