The event, on November 17th and 18th, will be hosted in Sheffield as part of a partnership between Learning Light, the Sheffield-based company which focuses on promoting the use of e-learning and learning technologies, learndirect - the e-learning provider which is one of the largest contributors to the UK government’s skills targets - and Creativesheffield

Delegates will attend from the private and public sectors and the focus of the exposition is expected to be on the personalisation of online training courses.
