“This year was the first time that any country from Asia Pacific has taken part in the Irish Learning Alliance Showcase. I was truly impressed by the high level of senior executives the event attracted from around the globe and how smoothly the event went. The event not only highlighted the capabilities of Ireland’s E-Learning companies but reinforced the collaboration between the Enterprise Ireland global team members who all took part to make such a worthwhile and enjoyable event.”

This entry is by Patrick Torrekens, BENELUX Region:

“BENELUX senior executives were impressed by the innovation capability of the Irish e-learning companies. They recognized that in-depth research has lead to true product innovation. The application areas for this innovation spread way beyond the traditional employer/employee e-learning. It opens perspectives from more efficient communication between all stakeholders in the corporate world.”

Hello everyone – I am new to Enterprise Ireland’s Boston office and will be working with the ILA. This will be my first of many posts. I look forward to hearing your comments and questions!

The Fourth Annual Irish Learning Showcase was recently held on December 2nd & 3rd in Dublin. This was a new and very exciting experience for me. One of the biggest things to impress me was the amount of energy and activity packed into a two day learning event. Senior executives attended from the US, Benelux, Dubai, Australia, France, Canada and the UK, each bringing with them unique perspectives on the present and future of learning solutions, as well as the specific business needs of their companies.

It was a great opportunity for everyone to learn more about the industry and see all the valuable innovation coming out of Ireland. The days were packed with networking activities, workshops and interactive client presentations on emerging trends such as mobile learning and social media.

Look for more posting coming from attendees and the Enterprise Ireland global team members later this week!! Let us know if you are interested in attending our 2010 Irish Learning Showcases.
