<\/p>\n

Over the past few months, here at Totara, we\u2019ve been busy working on putting together the agenda for the 2018 APAC User Conference hosted in Sydney, 6th-7th June. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The goal this year is to invite some of our Totara advocates who can provide in-depth experience and insight about Totara Learn and Totara Social, so our delegates can gain invaluable knowledge about how others within the Totara community are using the platform.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still on the fence about attending, here\u2019s what to expect from the action-packed one-day conference, followed by hands-on workshops hosted by our partner community.<\/p>\n

Have your questions ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Being part of the Totara community means you have the freedom to learn and to collaborate with your fellow Totara users across APAC. While you may already be accessing our newly revamped\u00a0Totara Community<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to ask those pertinent questions about the platform, our User Conference is a great opportunity to ask questions in person about the product, brainstorm, solve problems and address issues that will further your Totara Learn or Totara Social implementation within your organisation. Everyone attending the User Conference is encouraged to participate \u2013 and collaborate with one another to truly demonstrate the power of the Totara community.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve invited speakers who will be showing ways their organisations are using Totara to improve their business outcomes. Delegates will have the opportunity to hear case studies from organisations such as Alfred Health, Ricoh, Medcast, Berry Street and more on Day 1 of the event, and how they’re using Totara. Undoubtedly, this will give delegates an idea of the capabilities and functions being used to address different industry needs \u2013 and might spur some inspiration for you along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meet your Totara peers\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Totara User Conference helps delegates expand their network by meeting up with their fellow Totara users. This is an excellent opportunity to collaborate, innovate and form new connections that can help you gather ideas for you own Totara project. We encourage all attendees to take their notes from the day and start a thread on the\u00a0Totara Community\u00a0<\/a>to share ideas and next steps that they learned from the User Conference for further discussions.\u00a0We’re also excited to have\u00a0DeakinCo\u2019s senior learning and performance consultant, Arun Pradhan, leading the keynote on Day 1, on ‘Learning in the future of work\u2019, which will focus on the accelerated pace of change in L&D, along with strategies for dealing with this. Arun is highly\u00a0recognised\u00a0for his experience in the industry,\u00a0winning the coveted Australian Institute of Training And Development\u2019s\u00a02017 L&D Professional of the Year Award, and is\u00a0a top thought leader in the industry. Be sure to have a chat with everyone during the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Improve your skill set with optional Day 2 Totara workshops\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
