Meeting planners, learning designers and the global participants of this event are following the “day by day” countdown at http://www.learning2011.com/
“People often ask me to share what it is like designing a meeting for thousands of people, or they ask ‘how do you deal with security and other details when hosting a former President as a keynoter?’ In the age of social media, it is easy to open up visibility for the design process. I am being quite transparent about the process of dealing with meeting vendors and suppliers – even publicly pondering the costs of serving steamed latte drinks for several thousands,” said Elliott Masie, Producer of the event.
Learning 2011 is an annual gathering of the world’s learning professionals. Elliott Masie of the Saratoga Springs based MASIE Center, has been producing an event in this field since 1985. Details at http://www.learning2011.com
