Industry leaders at Learning Solutions 2004 conference

Industry leaders and high profile case studies will be taking centre stage at the Learning Solutions Exhibition and Conference taking place at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London on 25-26 May 2004.

The free opening address will be delivered by Gunnar Brückner, CEO, Coaching Platform and former Chief Learning Offficer, United Nations Development Programme and will look at what informal learning is and how organisations can benefit from harnessing its potential.
