UK Training Industry Press Releases

The future of the learning content industry - in particular, its ability to adapt to, and exploit fully, a new generation of educational content production, management, sharing and distribution models - is the subject of a top level conference, hosted jointly by Giunti Labs, one of the leading learning and mobile content management solution providers, and the European Learning Industry Group (ELIG). The conference, on Digital Educational Content Marketplaces (DECOM 2008, http://www.decom2008.com/), is being held at Giunti Labs' headquarters in Sestri Levante, on 23^rd October.

Delegates comprise top level executives from the learning content industry, international publishing firms, corporate training providers and academic stakeholders engaged in both publishing and open courseware initiatives in schools, universities and corporate training, together with Government policy makers throughout Europe.

The results of delegates' deliberations will be summarised in a shared document - ‘The Sestri DECOM Declaration'. This will be presented to the EU Commission as a set of suggested policy actions to support a transition towards digital content marketplaces for educational publishing in Europe.

The event is sponsored by Cegos, Plateau, Cisco, IBM, AxMediaTech - AXMEDIS and SIF Association.
