Training Journal Editor, Jo Cook, is Co-chair of a leading UK learning conference and urges people to think differently about their attendance and action points.

The World of Learning Conference, the UK's premier event for L&D professionals, offers a unique platform for those seeking a comprehensive mix of learning solutions and inspiration. Taking place on 8 and 9 October at the NEC, Birmingham, the event includes both a paid conference and a free exhibition with accompanying seminars.

Jo Cook, Editor of Training Journal, has been named co-chair of the conference, alongside Conference Chair and renowned author Robin Hoyle. Cook will be chairing several breakout sessions, as well as co-chairing the popular L&D Exchange session where delegates will discuss how to align L&D with business needs. 

In anticipation of the event, Cook encourages attendees to approach it with a fresh mindset, stating: "Don’t just focus on session titles - make notes that differ from your usual approach so they’re not forgotten when you return to work. Take inspiration from Ed Bernacki’s advice on Training Journal: document your ‘lightbulb moments’, and transform your insights into actionable steps, both for yourself and others. Most importantly, ensure you revisit and act on your ideas after the event, so your enthusiasm and the insights you’ve gained don’t get lost in the daily grind. That’s when the real value of your attendance to sessions and speaking with vendors becomes clear.”

With innovations in technology and learning methodologies reshaping the L&D landscape, it’s critical for organisations to stay abreast of the latest developments. World of Learning provides an unmatched opportunity to discover cutting-edge practices, hear from industry leaders, and engage with learning solution providers.
