The Learning Network is excited to announce that Michelle Parry-Slater and Steve Wheeler will be the keynote speakers at Connect 2023. This year’s theme is "Building the Future of Learning and Development," and these distinguished speakers are perfectly suited to address this vital topic.

Michelle's strategic insights have had a broad impact across various sectors, including international retail, government departments, and universities. Her ideas are regularly shared via her podcast, Learning From The Edges, and through her active social media presence.
Joining Michelle is Steve Wheeler, a learning technology expert with more than 45 years of experience in the field. Steve was a pioneer in computer-based training, distance education, and the use of social media for learning. His influential blog 'Learning with 'e’s' has attracted over 9 million unique visitors in the last decade. As a former associate professor of learning technologies at Plymouth University and now the CEO of Steve Wheeler Associates Limited, Steve has shared his expertise worldwide through his keynote speeches and publications.
