February 13-15 Orlando
Ready to add AI, AR, XR, VR, and other emerging technology to your learning content, but want to experience it for yourself first? Do you consider yourself a gadget person? Do you suffer from new tech envy or FOMO?
The solution? Visit the Innovations in Training Test Kitchen in the Expo! (Pro Tip: Look for people wearing chef hats and aprons.) "Executive Chef" Phylise Banner will be joined by several "Master Chefs" to help you discover innovative tools, new media, and fresh approaches to integrating technology into your learning.
Talk with our Master Chefs about learning design, pick up “recipes” (quick how-to guides), expert demos, and try out some tech. Test Kitchen mini-sessions will help you cook up innovative, immersive, and engaging learning “bites.” Don’t miss this high-energy, interactive learning experience.
The Test Kitchen also features the VR/AR Pantry with several opportunities to get hands on with the latest in VR and AR from several master practitioner “chefs.” Plus, check out the UPS New Driver Training Simulator, and meet several UPS learning leaders that will help you experience how this training program has been transformed through several iterations (hear their back story on the Expo Learning Stage on Monday at 2:45 pm).
