The conference, which takes place 25-27 May 2011, has a theme of "Sustaining Growth Through Human Resource Development" and is set to have a stimulating programme of events and influential key note speakers including Professor Joseph Raelin, prolific writer and avid student of the many approaches that support work-based learning.

Set in the beautiful regency town of Cheltenham, the conference is also an ideal opportunity to explore this historic area and the surrounding glorious countryside of the Cotswolds.
