Editor's note
==============
This week, for once, LearningWire has a special focus on the
physical rather than the virtual, as TrainingZONE makes its way
to the Midlands next month for the Training Solutions show.
As a TrainingZONE member, we're issuing you with a special
invitation to attend one of the three sessions we're running over
the two days of Training Solutions. Attendance at any of these
sessions is completely free, and we'll be laying on breakfast to
ease you in to the show and conference themselves. TrainingZONE
members who attend one of the breakfast sessions also get
complimentary access to the exhibition VIP area until 12pm on the
morning of the session.
Elsewhere at the show, there'll be the usual varied programme of
conference seminars, and feature interviews with some of the
speakers appearing can be found listed below.
To register to attend any of the TrainingZONE sessions and find
out more about the show in general, see
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/trainingsolutions
We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham!
