We have just opened our new website and are offering a special Early
Registration discount (save more than $200 per person).

We are pleased to announce the first of several design and content
elements for Learning 2007:

* Learning Excellence and Learning Experimentation: These are our two
major themes for Learning 2007. How do we improve the learning we
currently deliver and how do we experiment and research new models?
* Gaming 4 Learning Festival: A 3 day event, integrated with Learning
2007, exploring the learning and collaboration potential for Gaming,
Simulation and Virtual Worlds.
* Leadership Training Revisited: A working group exploring alternatives to
our current models of Leadership Training, Development and Selection.
* Learning Gallery: 100 Plasma Screens around the walls of our Lunch and
Reception Hall - with demonstrations and self-service views of content,
systems and learning solutions.
* Learning Retreats - Teams from corporations attend Learning 2007 as a
Learning Retreat, with special meeting facilities, content, resources and
discounts.
* Learning & Sustainability - How do our organizations reach for ways to
reduce environmental impacts of travel?
* Redesigning Meetings - Models for changing the culture and design of
meetings.
* Write A Book Together: The participants of Learning 2007 will
collectively create the Learning Yearbook - 2007. Each participant will
receive a bound (and digital copy) of this book upon arrival in Orlando.
The Wisdom of the Crowds will have close to 2,000 key colleagues writing
this book about our changing field.
* Fun, Fun, Fun. Over the past two decades, we have brought music, arts,
fun and excitement to our MASIE events. Watch for surprise announcements
in the weeks ahead.
* Second Life Island: We are building a Virtual Learning 2007 Island for a
virtual immersion of all participants. This will open this summer and
will provide an "out of the world" hands-on way to start interacting with
colleagues coming to Learning 2007 and experimenting with new models of
information sharing.
* Four Generations - One Workplace - One Profession: Special sessions and
focus for CLOs, Senior Executives and Next Generation Learning
Professionals.
* And much more. Go to http://www.learning2007.com for evolving details.
