Learning Discovery Zone

Training 2024 is breaking the mold on the usual and customary “expo stage” to bring you something different — a place to make, break, and take new learning experiences — in the Learning Discovery Zone!

Here’s a glimpse into the features and benefits for YOU:

No stage or podium or “sage on the stage”
No slide decks (unless that is the topic, of course)
More attendee engagement + participation
More opportunities for experience + discovery
More examples + demonstrations
More “try it” + learn-by-doing situations
More “tips for success” from the experts
More game-based learning experiences + opportunities to network

Plus ... join Sewa Beats at the opening of the Learning Discovery Sewa Beats logo

Zone (Monday at 11:00 am), when they lead an experiential program that can be applied to leadership development, diversity and inclusion, and change management. In this powerful program, everyone gets a drum, and uses rhythm and music as a metaphor for business success.

As you plan what sessions you are going to at Training 2024, don’t forget to include this BONUS content in the Expo Hall!
