For those that have not attended the RSC SE’s e-Learning Fair before, this annual event has become the premier gathering for all ILT professionals involved in post-16 education in the South East region. With its combination of 12 seminars and a highly focused exhibition, the e-Learning Fair provides the ideal opportunity to learn about the latest issues and technologies as well as to network with colleagues.

Previous delegates and exhibitors will be aware of the success of past e-Learning Fairs organised by the RSC SE and this year promises to improve on our already high standard. The e-Learning Fair 2009 will be held in the wonderful setting of the Hilton St Anne’s Manor Bracknell, complete with convenient parking, luxurious facilities, relaxing gardens (if the weather is kind) and a huge airy conservatory (if not).
