The Tata Interactive Learning Forum (TLF) provides a highly interactive platform for thought leaders across domains to get together, interact and inspire each other.
The TLF aims to help organizations work together to overcome current challenges by sharing insights, innovations, and successes. It comprises discussions of the experiences of various organizations, and the different tools they use to make learning effective in an uncertain economy.
The TLF 2009, hosted by Tata Interactive Systems in partnership with
Bersin & Associates, is an invitation-only forum featuring the leading
thinkers and decision makers of the learning industry. Held annually
for over 5 years, the TLF is a highly successful event with a learning
community of more than 500 participants so far.
The forum includes research and case presentations, panel discussions,
and strategy breakouts. Some of the presenters include:
You will also have the opportunity to meet with other thought-leaders
from across the country, determine optimal strategies for your organization,
preview some of the latest products and technologies, and examine case
studies of key learning initiatives at other global companies.
