<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Join us for the inaugural ‘Big Sponge Hangout’ online this summer!</H2>
Building on the popularity of our regular podcast and webinar series, the event will share insights and information from the world of learning technologies.
Over the course of four days, some of the biggest names in L&D will share their tips for achieving success across a variety of topics.
You’ll hear case studies from a range of organisations and be able to take away ideas and suggestions to implement into your own L&D programmes.
Each day there will be a live event, allowing you to ask questions, get involved and learn how other organisations have achieved their goals.
You will also receive access to a series of video interviews offering guidance in how to boost your programmes and engage with your staff.
