"Training" Reimagines Learning at Its Rebranded Event: TechLearn Conference 2019 in New Orleans

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Training magazine's fall TechLearn Conference (TLC) September 17-19, 2019, is heading to the Big Easy. This rebranded and reimagined version of the former Online Learning Conference will be headlined by Chief Learning Evangelist Michael Allen, founder of Allen Interactions and co-creator of "The eLearning Manifesto," which boldly proclaims, "No more boring eLearning!" Throughout the conference, Dr. Allen will guide attendees on how to design, develop, implement, and evaluate our ever-expanding training options.

"This is more than just a name change," declares Training VP of Market Strategy Philip Jones. "As we've moved beyond online learning to adaptive learning, gamified learning, and learning delivered via augmented and virtual reality and artificial intelligence, we made the conscious decision to transform our fall event. We have re-engineered the format and content, and brought in recognized experts in the learning and technology industries to help attendees sort through the bells and whistles and shiny objects to identify the technologies and methods that will empower learning and deliver results."
