Attending and Exhibiting at Learning Network Connect
Attending a conference isn’t just about showing up, it’s about making an impact.
That’s exactly what Real Projects did as they exhibited at Learning Network Connect 2024.
An Industry Partner of The Learning Network, the award-winning elearning company from Norwich continues to contribute fresh ideas and expertise to a thriving professional community.
Real Projects values the role of The Learning Network in bringing L&D professionals together to share insights and shape the future of workplace learning.
CEO Scott Hewitt shared his thoughts on the partnership:
“We’re pleased to support The Learning Network as an Industry Partner and to have exhibited at Learning Network Connect. It’s an exciting space where professionals collaborate, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of workplace learning.”
For many attendees, this event reaffirmed just how strong and engaged the L&D community really is. One participant noted:
“Coming to an event like this really reaffirms just how amazing our community of practitioners is. The free-flowing conversations, the openness, everyone genuinely cares about how we can move learning forward.”
Key Themes and Discussions
Beyond showcasing Real Projects’ latest insights in elearning, the event was an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about the challenges and opportunities facing L&D today.
With the theme “Be the Disruption,” the conference encouraged professionals to shift their mindset. Instead of viewing disruption as something that happens to them, the focus was on leading disruptive change from within.
Delegates shared that “For too long, we’ve been on the back foot. This conference is about stepping into the energy created by change and using it to help organisations think, learn, and grow together.”
A major discussion point was the role of AI in learning. While AI presents both challenges and opportunities, attendees highlighted the importance of using it strategically rather than just following trends.
“AI is both a challenge and an enabler. The key is integrating it in a way that genuinely adds value, broadening the content we create, enhancing performance consulting, and proving ROI.”
Beyond technology, the human element of learning remained central. Many conversations focused on how L&D can shift from reacting to business needs to proactively shaping them. One attendee reflected:
“As an industry, we spend a lot of time on ‘what’, design, evaluation, and marketing. But these are the things most likely to be disrupted. What we really need to focus on is the ‘why’, the heart of why we do what we do.”
Networking and Collaboration
The facilitated networking and structured debates also stood out, offering an open and collaborative space where people could challenge ideas and spark fresh thinking.
“Being a standalone L&D practitioner in my organisation, there’s nothing more valuable than being around others in the field, hearing how they tackle challenges, learning from their experiences, and getting inspired by new approaches.”
This is just the beginning. With a full calendar of events planned throughout the year, Real Projects is excited to continue supporting The Learning Network’s board of directors and engaging with the wider L&D community.
The final comment from an attendee, “The biggest takeaway? We’re not alone. Events like this remind us that we share best practices, debate ideas, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in L&D.”
With a presence at major L&D events across the UK, including World of Learning and Learning Technologies, The Learning Network remains a key hub for professionals committed to continuous learning, networking, and innovation.
Real Projects are just as invested in shaping the future of learning. Alongside supporting The Learning Network, the team actively engages with global L&D communities, attending major overseas conferences like Training 2025 and the Leaders Learning Conference in the USA. These events offer a chance to connect with forward-thinking professionals, explore new ideas, and stay on top of emerging trends.
That’s what sets Real Projects apart.
Whether in the UK or overseas, the focus is always on pushing learning forward, creating fresh, effective, and practical elearning that delivers real impact. The conversation around L&D is evolving, and Real Projects is making sure its clients are ready for what’s next.
