\"\"<\/a>Business EDUCA is a must-attend event for managers and corporate learning professionals seeking not only inspiration, but concrete ideas on how to get the best out of the latest developments in L&D. There is a tantalising line-up of topics in the various sessions, and these are presented in different formats: workshops, panel discussions, and the ever-popular Learning Caf\u00e9s. Here, participants engage in lively, interactive discussion, typically roundtable style, and always on one main theme pertaining to the workplace, business and strategies for success.
