Learning Technologies Asia will be the region’s leading event for organisational learning and the technology used to support learning at work. With a three track thought leadership conference, an exhibition showcasing all the leading suppliers and more than 50 free seminars, it will be the must attend event for all learning and development professionals.

Commenting on the acquisition and the launch plans for Learning Technologies Asia, CloserStill Director, Mark Penton, said: “We’ve been watching the development of the workplace learning market in Asia for some time and Singapore has quickly established itself as the regional leader in the sector. We’ve admired what LEARNTech Asia has done to help develop the sector and look forward to putting on a great event in Singapore next year.”

​​Kydon founder and CEO, David Yeo, who will continue to be involved in shaping the education agenda for Learning Technologies Asia with CloserStill, added: “We are proud of the LEARNTech Asia conference and we are delighted to team up with the organiser of the biggest event in Europe for this industry.
