With constant fluctuations in the economy, the role of learning and development leaders becomes more and more challenging. In order to -˜reinvent' and -˜redefine' employee capabilities in a dynamic business climate, L&D leaders need to adopt new, innovative learning approaches and strategies to stay competent. Furthermore, they are required to look to their learning departments to contribute real value in building and retaining talent in the workforce.

Global Learning Academy 2010 showcases interactive and stimulating sessions on building and sustaining a successful corporate academy - an upcoming corporate learning trend in the African region. This high-level business platform will provide inspiration for reviving organisational learning and development functions post-crisis by providing tools and techniques that blend working, learning, and giving creatively.

The conference also provides exclusive opportunities to develop business relationships and networks with industry peers and leading learning product, service, and information providers from the world's most influential businesses and organisations.

Conference speakers are scheduled to include representatives from Airports Company South Africa, EDCON ZA, Great Basin Gold Limited ZA, Jumeirah Group U.A.E, MTN Group ZA, Public Administration Leadership & Management Academy ZA, and many more.

Conference participation is by invitation only, in an attempt to preserve the quality of the event's networking encounters. Registration is exclusive so that networking value is retained at the middle to top-executive level of delegation and the highest calibre of interaction is ensured among attendees and sponsors.
