Guest speakers include Bob Fryer, National Director for Widening Participation in Learning at the NHSU, and Mark Cummings, Senior Policy Adviser e-Learning Strategy Unit at the DfES, who will address the opening keynote session 'Building a Learning Culture', reviewing both organisational and learners’ needs in new and demanding cultures and environments.

Commenting on the event, David Wolfson, Chair of the BLA said, "Whatever the size of your organisation, I'm sure you are keen to know what's on the learning agenda now and for the future. What does best practice look like? What are the interesting initiatives to help lead us forward? This year’s BLA conference brings together major practitioners and thinkers who are helping to shape the future of learning."

Under the working title 'Advancing methods and new ideas for learning', the BLA Conference aims to provide delegates with an opportunity to:

• consider learning design, delivery issues and the skills needed to address the modern learner
• examine the pressures of providing quality in learning, e-learning and blended solutions
• look at aspects of widening participation
