EARLY REGISTRATION DRAWING - KIndle Fire HD!

If you are responsible for learning, develop training deliverables in this technology driven world, show up to work and sit at a computer, and/or carry a mobile device, YOU are a learning professional with technology on your mind. Can technology give you an edge as a learning professional?

This conference will provide information on tools, trends & experience using technology in the design & delivery of training. We will focus on emerging technologies and best instructional design approaches for developing in different media.

Are you asking questions like these?

What are the strategic advantages of deploying eLearning vs. mLearning?
What types of content are best for eLearning, mLearning, blended learning?
What are the design and development issues we need to consider for different media?
What tools are best for developing engaging eLearning and mLearning?
How do we determine which mobile platforms and/or operating systems are right for us?
What is a virtual classroom?

The Technology Conference is focused on helping you and your organization make sense of this wide array of issues. Whether you are working in a corporate, academic, or government setting – whether you're focused on setting the strategy or leading the development effort – whether you're new to eLearning or have been at it for some time – you'll find the information, technologies, and resources you need to succeed the Technology Conference.

ASTD Houston takes an enormous amount of pride in how we plan, develop, and produce conferences. Our goal is to ensure that all participants are not only satisfied with how engaging, educational and fun an event is while they are there, but that they also develop new insight, knowledge, skills, and expertise they can actually use upon their return home.
