NEW
YORK, NY --
February 23, 2005 -- VNU
Learning, a leading provider of training conferences and certificate
programs, and LearningTimes, LLC, a leading producer of online
conferences for education and training, announced today the
launch of "TrainingLiveandOnline.com" -- a new portal
for a series of online conferences and collaborative training
programs. http://www.trainingliveandonline.com
The first
production is a unique, live online conference -- featuring a series
of interactive webcasts over three days, on-location
from the annual Training 2005 Conference & Expo in New Orleans.
This exciting program will take place completely over the Internet,
February 28 to March 2, 2005.
"This is a great opportunity for people who cannot make the
trip to New Orleans," said Philip Jones, Group Show Director
for VNU Expositions. "This entire event will take place in the
VNU Learning Online Conference Community -- affording many opportunities
for collaboration, learning and networking among all conference participants
-- both live and online."
In the online conference,
over 30 presenters will lead live workshops in virtual classrooms,
including Thiagi ("How To Facilitate
Multicultural Learning Groups"), Bob Pike ("Dealing with
Difficult Participants"), and Kit Horton ("Powerful PowerPoint
for Classroom Instructors"). Roving correspondents will bring
news and information from the convention center, presented as voice
and video blogs. Each evening will include a live online wrap-up
program to review and discuss the day's events.
A full schedule, including all session titles and descriptions,
and registration information may be found at: http://www.trainingliveandonline.com
"LearningTimes is proud to offer our expertise in creating
and facilitating this unique initiative," commented Jonathan
Finkelstein, LearningTimes President and Executive Producer. "We
will build on VNU's success and expand their reach by producing an
online version of every training and learning event in 2005. We are
especially excited about bringing the renowned VNU certificate programs
to live online audiences later this year."
Training 2005 will be co-produced by InSync Center, and sponsored
by WebEx, Inc. For information on sponsoring a VNU online conference,
