TO: Learning & Training Colleagues
FROM: Elliott Masie, The Learning CONSORTIUM
RE: Learning 2006 Summer Update
We are pleased to announce the following additions and special activities at our Learning 2006 Event, to be held from November 5th though 8th in Orlando.
There are over 920 of your colleagues already registered! Here are a few of our new announcements:
* MyIndustry Groups: There are over 21 special MyIndustry Groups formed that will allow you to focus on the unique challenges and opportunities facing your industry or field. Each is led by 2 Learning CONSORTIUM members (non-vendors) who are learning executives. A small sample of these groups and their facilitators
- Financial Services & Learning: Tom Hilgart, CNA and Ilene Haber, Farmers Insurance Group
- Technology Industry & Learning: Allison Anderson, Intel Corporation Ray Sims, Novell and John Leutner, Xerox
- Retail Industry & Learning: Charlie Gardner, Home Depot and Leilani Basa, Target Corporation
- Professional Services & Learning: Sarah Lindsell, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Dawn Tippet, Ernst & Young
Each of the MyIndustry Groups will meet several times during Learning 2006, working through a facilitated and flexible discussion about key Learning Challenges in their industries, including Compliance, Competencies, Retention, Informal Learning and More. This is a unique Participant-Focused benchmarking opportunity. In fact, each MyIndustry Group will begin pre-event dialogues in the coming weeks.
For a complete list of Learning 2006 MyIndustry Groups:

Watch for MyRole, MySystems and MyIssues Groups to be formed in the weeks ahead by our 2,000 learning colleague participants.
* CFO & Board Room View of Learning: I am pleased to announce that Dennis Dammerman, one of the leading CFOs in the world, will be a Thought
Leader. Dennis just retired as CFO and Vice Chair of General Electric.
He is a strong advocate of talent investments. Dennis and I will dialogue about how the CFO, CEO and Board of Directors view Learning, Training and Talent Management. http://www.learning2006.com/blog/
* Here are just a few of the other key Thought Leaders and Headliners we have designed into the Learning 2006 Experience:
- Loretta LaRoche, PBS Personality, Hilarious View of Work/Life Balance.
- Steven MR Covey, The Speed of Trust.
- Kevin Oakes, Host of The Business of Learning and Learning Museum.
- BowFire: High Energy Performance at our Global Celebration.
- Jay Cross: Informal Learning and Learning in the Web 2.0 World.
- Ken Blanchard: Changing Nature of Leadership Training.
- Josh Bersin: LCMS User Group.
- John Abele, Chair of Boston Scientific on WiseCrowds & Meeting Design.
- Bob Mosher, Micrsoft - VistaLearn - Preparing for Change!
- Great Debates on:
= "Is Instructional Design Dead?"
= "Is Anyone Really Measuring True ROI or Impact?"
= "Do NextGeneration Workers Still Memorize Stuff?"
- 2006 Learning Leadership Awards and Case Studies with Chief Learning Executives of these Global Companies:
= WalMart University.
= Apple Computers.
= Emirates Airlines.
= British Broadcasting Service.
A high touch and high tech alternative to the Trade Show: Each of our 60 Learning Sponsors has a presence on our Social Networking System, a physical Meeting Post located at the event and a published Cell Phone with voice or TXT messaging to allow you to locate the suppliers you want to network with. Tuesday will include face to face small seminars to examine case study solutions from key suppliers.
And much more! Go to our website at http://www.learning2006.com for details. Save hundreds of dollars by using our Summer Advance Registration Discount. We also have over 30 Corporate Teams bringing groups of learning colleagues to Learning 2006. We can create special resources for your team.
