Things to do at HRD 2013 - Free Learning and networking at HRD 2013.

There are 50+ learning sessions taking place at the HRD Exhibition covering a wide-range of topics including L&D, OD, coaching, leadership, talent, e-learning, learning technology and more.

With so much on offer it's difficult to know which sessions to attend, so we've had a good look through the programme and can suggest the following:

1. Firstly the 'must attend' session has to be 2pm on Thursday (25th) with our own Bob Bannister presenting the topic Are Businesses Serious About 70:20:10 Development?  This session will explore what an effective 70:20:10 model looks like, how to establish the relevant learning culture in your own organisation and the 7 key requirements for successful adoption.
2. Making Innovation HR’s Business looks like a promising session looking at the integral role of L&D in ensuring the continued innovation of organisations; training and development of staff to facilitate agility and to help foster innovators; encouraging knowledge sharing and crossboundary working, to realise business benefits.  That's also Thursday at 1545hr.  
3. Finally just because we love the creativity of the title (and therefore we hope the presenter will be equally as fun), there is Mi5takes aer Prabobly Costnig you a Frotune!  Pick up simple, powerful tips to develop accuracy skills and promote attention to detail in your organisation. That's 9:15 am on Thursday too.  

If that's not motivation enough, here are 10 more reasons why you should attend HRD 2013:

1. Focus on specific areas such as coaching or talent or get an update across all areas of L&D.
2. Benefit from sessions in three different formats and find a learning style that suits you.
3. Get practical tips and advice to improve individual and organisational performance.
