The ASTD TechKnowledge® 2010 Conference & Exposition is about two months away and the exhibit hall is on its way to being the best ever. After a strong few weeks of sales, the hall sold out of space, much earlier than expected. To meet the demand, we added more booth space to continue to attract the best e-learning providers. Check out the floor plan and available booths now. Looking to see who’s exhibiting? Check out our impressive list of exhibitors and sponsors.

As told by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, these 5 things are essential to all presentations: a headline, a bad guy, a simple visual, a demonstration, and a memorable moment. And don't forget to sell dreams,  not products. http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/oct2009/sb2009106_706829.htm

ASTD is at the forefront on a lot of issues and leads on a lot of trends - especially on the technology front. Under President and CEO Tony Bingham's leadership ASTD started a virtual conference initiative with this year's TechKnowledge conference. The virtual offering was a hit and led to an expanded virtual offering for the International Conference & Exposition held this spring in Washington, D.C. We put out a press release about the virtual conference which led to call from a reporter from Association Meetings during the conference. Lo and behold the publication found the idea of virtual conferences so intriguing they called back and wanted to know more about it since ASTD is definitely at the forefront in using this platform to meet member needs.  The result is this story "Six Elements of a Virtual Conference" which features Anthony Allen, ASTD's Director of Digital Media, very prominently. The very cool photo in the article is courtesy of our friends at The Photo Group.
