Now in their fifth year, the Learning Pool Live events bring inspiration, practical advice, and a lot of fun in equal measure. Learning Pool will be going on tour throughout the UK and providing an opportunity for delegates to take away tried and tested eLearning strategies.

With "Develop the Possibilities" as the theme, the events will take place in Sheffield (09 October), Cardiff (16 October) and London (23 October). They expect to attract hundreds of learning and development professionals from across the UK public and private sectors.

Originally trained as a psychologist, Steve Wheeler has spent his entire career working in media, technology, and learning. He is a renowned speaker in his field and has presented training sessions and workshops for various local and national government authorities and professional development organisations.

Steve will explore "Learning Futures: How new and emerging technologies will impact learning and development."
