DevLearn 2011:

Some Snaps

Brought to

you by

This year‟s show went by so

quickly, there wasn‟t time to

see it all, but here are a few

moments to share.

This year (and next, as it

worked!), the desert city of

Los Vegas was the venue for

DevLearn.

Or just a little

wackiness that is the

city...

The Expo floor was where we really

went to be...

Where you could meet your friendly eLearning

celebs, like Terrence Wing (on left).

We enjoyed a visit with do-gooders Martin Baker

from Charity Learning Consortium and Eric Berg of

LINGOs (here with Alfredo Leone of QuickLessons).

Other “celebs” were in

house...like Bill Brandon, somewhere...

The eLearning Guild was ready to take

people to the next level of involvement.

As was ASTD...

Love „em or hate

„em, the LMS is a

force to reckon

with…

It wouldn‟t be complete

without the Bro‟s (they seem to

be expanding!)

Clarity Consultants were constantly

smiling faces seen everywhere...

Yukon Group staff were also all smiles.

Pigs call to our second nature (!)...and charmed the imagination at both Yukon and Forge FX.

Creative talent

could turn any

item into an

animal of

choice…here an

elephant was the

request.

Text to speech continues to

emerge…

Sound80 was on hand to ensure the voice of learning is heard (giving away kettle corn as a light snack)

Still a

coveted

give-away...

the iPad (at mimeo)

But sweets hit the mark as a runner

up...these cute licorice Scotties graced SH!FT‟s

elegant green and black booth and oh, no,

Tasty-Kake at Brookwood‟s. Ah well, hit the gym

back home.

Making versatile use of a zebra-

themed scarf give-away at Zebra-

Zapps

Men in black was the fashion mode, as seen by new exhibitor, anewspring, with Martén de Prezmodeling (note: Italian leather shoes complete the look)

A wee learner

brought smiles

to booth staff

around the

floor, with

contagious

enthusiasm.

There was a new game in town:

DevLearn bingo of a sort...

Marketing messages play on gut-

responses: cut travel pain, feel

secure, deliver content now!

Articulate had

cute little guys

(as well as

affable regular-

sized humans).

Some people just

know how to

have fun

Friendly eLearning colleagues at

SmartBuilder were neighbors again...

No matter what the activity at the

booth, it was about service with a smile.

As always at DevLearn

books were available to

augment learning, with the

unflagging staff

Featured

titles focused

on making

your graphics

sing...

Jane Bozath fare:

The theme of mobile learner is de rigueur.

Clever covers (napkin & duct tape)

convey making ideas sell:

Talent management is another

theme, as books on outsourcing and

employee retention illustrate.

Two books show signs of the

times...Web inundation and Social’s

here to stay!

And just seconds from the Expo floor

a plethora of concurrent learning

sessions to fuel the educational fires:

The bottom line...LEARNING.

Until next year!
