The only event of its type in Europe, the Conference & Exhibition is for all learning professionals and their managers looking to grow their skills and keep up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.
Event director Donald Taylor explained that the Institute is delighted that its keynote address is from one of the world's top training and development gurus Bob Mosher.
"We are delighted to be presenting the audience with such a world class thought leader in training and development and I hope that no IITT member misses this great opportunity to hear from a leading practitioner as we do not often get chance to do so."
"Bob Mosher was a huge success when he last provided the Keynote session in 2005," said Colin Steed, chief executive of the IITT, "and we are really grateful to him that he has agreed to spare time in his busy schedule to fly from the US especially for our event. I know that he holds the Institute in very high regard."
"The event was so popular last year that we will need to change venue for larger premises this year," he continued. "So we are looking at a particular venue in London this year which will not only provide enough space for the expected 300 delegates but also for the rapidly expanding Exhibition.
"After consulting last year's delegates, we have decided to move to London at a venue that can accommodate the conference, exhibition and provide in-house accommodation for delegates," said Steed.
The IITT National Training Conference 2009 takes place on 24th September, with the pre-event Welcome Reception taking place the evening before (23rd September).
Steed explained that the IITT is currently finalising the conference sessions, under the chairmanship of Don Taylor, and will announce full details of the venue and delegate fee shortly. As an IITT or BCS Member you will still save £100 on your conference booking compared to the non-members' fee.
Exhibitor space available
