A free conference in February will aim to highlight the international opportunities available to the UK training market.

Held by the British Learning Association (BLA) the one-day event is supported by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), which has identified the UK's learning and development sector as a centre of international expertise worthy of promoting to international markets.

Brian Merison, General Manager of the BLA said: "The aim of the event is to encourage many types of providers in the learning and development sector to engage with international export opportunities, and to offer guidance in the support available from UKTI in the development of an overseas marketing strategy".

Delegates will have the chance to review case studies of those already active in international markets with discussion on the support available to help them take up export opportunities and achieve success.

The event International opportunities for learning & development is aimed at learning providers across all media and markets, and takes place on Wednesday 22nd February 2006 at the DTI Conference Centre, London.
