National Trainers' Conference programme announced

The Institute of IT Training's National Trainers' Conference programme was announced earlier today. Expanded in response to demand from last year's delegates, the one-day conference this year features 15 sessions grouped in three streams: People and Performance, Techniques and Technologies, and Making Training More Effective.

Another added feature in this year's conference is a reception, giving delegates the chance to exchange ideas with their peers and make friends to keep in touch with throughout the year. This year's exhibition is also larger, with no fewer than 15 companies demonstrating the latest products and services in IT training.

Speakers at the event include Clive Shepherd, Kathy Morris and Alan Bellinger. The keynote address is given by Dave Snowden, Director of IBM's Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity. The session, Learner-centric Training, argues that the training we deliver in the 21st Century needs to be far more focused on the way people work and think, and it is critical to recreate the shared culture and trust we once enjoyed to ensure that we transfer skills effectively. Dave seeks to bring humanity back to training through a rediscovery of the power of stories, community, and social capital.

The event takes place on the 18th May 2004 at the Royal Court Hotel, Coventry. Fees are £195 for IITT members and £295 for non-members.
