For 24 hours starting April 21 at 9:00 am Pacific time, Learntrends will host a series of online conversations on boosting the performance of organizations through learning. We expect hundreds of people to attend the free, live, online sessions. Conversations will be recorded and made available on the web to foster reflection and continuing discussion. Our Twitter back channel will probably be hopping. The Learntrends community now numbers more than a thousand members around the globe. Sign up if you are not a member to keep track of what's going on. Our goal is honest dialog. No commercials. No presentations. Few or no slides. Often, we expect to throw three or four great people into an online fishbowl and let the conversation go where it will. At other times, participants will simply talk about whatever is on their minds, with a host and time cop occasionally nudging the conversation back to the theme of improving the process of learning in organizations. Here is more of our vision for the event

Drop by whenever we're free. You can join in for half and hour, then bail out. You do not need to register to attend. We hope to keep the conversation platform open for 24 hours, enabling people to continue the dialog around the world.

Volunteer: Sign up as a Tech Moderator. We need moderator/DJs to cover 6:00 - 10:00 Greenwich Mean Time.

Suggest a topic for Discussion. You don't need to be an expert to start a conversation here. What do you want to discuss?
