LearnTrends, the Corporate Learning and Innovation Conference, is going off the air. In 2007, 2008, and 2009, we hosted free online conferences to push the envelope in learning innovation. We also conducted special events, e.g. a session on using Sharepoint to support learning and a 24-hour round-the-world marathon webinar.

While strife with technical challenges, Nancy White and John Smith’s presentation at LearnTrends 2009 ( LearnTrends 2009 Recordings ) provided some really interesting food for thought. In some ways this relates closely to the post on Selling Learning Communities. To me, that sounds like a really powerful model.

I thought my personal contacts, the Learntrends membership, notices on Facebook/LinkedIn/Nings, and the Tweetstream would attract flocks of people. No commercials. No presentations.
