Last week we had an exhibition stand at CIPD’s HRD 2011 at Olympia London – our very first ‘outing’ in the UK. It turned out to be a great show for us with executives from several blue chip companies visiting our stand to discuss their performance and learning challenges.
I suppose a lot of meetings are to follow in next few weeks. This is a good beginning for our new Europe office which started a few months back.
Best Stand 2011 – Runners Up We were pleasantly surprised to be adjudged the Runners Up on the People Management Sponsored Best Stand 2011. Apparently the several mystery-shoppers who visited our stand found our design good, messaging clear, and stand staff knowledgeable, passionate, and courteous. Great show there by the whole team. Here are some images from the event.
Upside2Go – The Star of the Show Of all our products and services it was Upside2Go that interested most visitors. It’s a unique product and a lot of clients are just beginning to consider mobile learning. For those unaware about Upside2Go here’s a quick overview video of the same. Upside2Go helps organization offer both PUSH Learning by delivering mandatory learning/updates as well as allows PULL Learning by allowing learners to pull information / training material as and when they need it (performance support). Also Upside2Go allows for Social/Informal learning and when implemented properly can do a world of good for the global workforce. It is no wonder it was declared the best debut by analysts Craig Weiss at the ASTD show in Feb 2011. UpsideLMS There was significant interest in UpsideLMS too; a triple Brandon Hall Award winner that has kept pace with new technologies. A 3-Tier Architecture, built in Authoring Tools & an e-Commerce Engine, Mobile & Social Learning Features and the very attractive pricing has made it especially attractive to the visitors. Even people considering Moodle now consider the UpsideLMS as an option. Custom eLearning Visitors were amazed by the quality of bespoke elearning work and the price points at which we offer them. One of them instantaneously said he would be moving away from his London based supplier. Of course we bring the benefit of local sales support and India based development. Check out our Custom eLearning Showcase. Overall it was a satisfying show for us.
