The Institute of IT Training's National Trainers' Conference is for all trainers and training managers, learning & development managers, HR managers and all those interested in keeping in touch with the latest developments in training.

Expanded in response to demand from last year's delegates, the one-day conference this year features no fewer than 15 sessions grouped in three streams: Training Strategy, Training Issues, and Training Delivery.

"We are repeating the popular feature of a pre-conference welcome and reception session, giving delegates the chance to hear a presentation on the latest training developments, exchange ideas with their peers and make friends to keep in touch with throughout the year," explained Colin Steed, chief executive of the IITT.
A new feature this year is a stream of workshops - which have a limit of 12 people - booked on a first come, first served basis. So get your bookings in early and save £50 on the each booking if you book before the last day of March.

Full details of the programme can be found on the conference website: www.trainersconference.co.uk

This year's exhibition is also larger, with no fewer than 15 companies demonstrating the latest products and services in training.

With a IITT member delegate fee of £245 (Earlybird discount), the conference represents exceptional value for money as a training event alone. In addition, delegates have the chance to network, to meet leading industry lights informally, and to visit the accompanying exhibition, providing access to the latest training products and services. Included in the price are: morning and afternoon refreshments, full lunch and conference materials, including a free 16Mb memory stick containing all presentations.

The IITT National Trainers' Conference is a must for trainers and training managers, learning & development managers, HR managers and all those interested in keeping in touch with the latest developments in training.
