L&D Free Spirits is attending the World of Learning Summit, London, 4-5th February 2025 and offering its members the opportunity to showcase their brand alongside them.

 

The World of Learning Summit, organised by Venture Marketing Group, provides attendees with a dedicated conference and exhibition “to learn as well as explore new products and services that are available to support L&D”

L&D Free Spirits will be exhibiting at the event and is offering members the opportunity to showcase their brand alongside them for the two-day event, free of charge.

L&D Free Spirits Founder, Kim Ellis, said: 

“The World of Learning events are fantastic and renowned across the Learning and Development industry. This is a fantastic opportunity for a member of Free Spirits to gain exposure, speak to potential clients, connect with industry professionals and strengthen their profile.”

L&D Free Spirits facilitates networking, collaboration and professional growth for its members and exists to transform how self-employed individuals connect with others across L&D.

Venture Marketing Group Joint Managing Director, Tracy Shah, said:

“The World of Learning Summit brings everyone in L&D together to share experiences, learn and collaborate in an informal yet impactful environment. It’s a pleasure to work with L&D Free Spirits and support freelancers in our industry to gain visibility, showcase their expertise to a wider audience and connect with key decision-makers.”

Members of L&D Free Spirits have until Tuesday, 31st December 2024, to register their submission of interest (non-members can join L&D Free Spirits and submit their application thereafter). 

All submissions will be reviewed and selected candidates will be invited to continue the application process in the new year. The cost of exhibiting alongside L&D Free Spirits will be waived for the successful member. 

Kim added:

“Exhibiting can be expensive, and the risk attached to the cost of an exhibition stand when self-employed is huge - there’s pressure to bring in new business just to balance the initial outlay. Collaborating with Tracy and the team allows us to offer an opening for someone to promote themselves and raise awareness of their brand with no cost attached. A real benefit for our members.”

L&D Free Spirits launched in September 2024, providing freelancers across L&D with opportunities to enhance visibility, engage with others and find new opportunities globally. Membership includes a personalised e-portfolio to showcase services and access to a member directory, jobs board and private Slack community. 

Benefits include online networking and virtual events for upskilling, engagement, and staying ahead of trends and best practices, course discounts and reduced rates on executive coaching, downloadable resources and development tools to broaden business knowledge.

The application portal for expressing interest in exhibiting with L&D Free Spirits is now open. Membership options are available monthly and annually.
