How is the Learning Festival Different from a Conference/Convention?
Elliott Masie is designing the Learning Festival to be Engaging, Interactive, High Energy, Vendor-Neutral and Participant Centered.
Instead of Keynotes - You will interviewing amazing experts.
Instead of 60 Minute Breakouts - You will engage in provocative conversations.
Instead of a Trade Show - We will brainstorm the next innovations needed for Learning.
Instead of a Thousands of Participants - The Learning Festival will have 250 Colleagues.
And, we will add the Magic of Broadway to the rich conversations about learning. Co-Hosted by Telly Leung (Star of Aladdin, Allegiance and Glee) with Performances and Perspectives from Melinda Doolittle (American Idol) and other stars.
