As you may know, the Technology Source has a corporate university section because the challenges, issues, and solutions in using information technology confront all sectors of education. Much of the innovation in e-learning is taking place in the corporate university sector, both within business organizations and government agencies.
Corporate University Xchange (CUX) specializes in the design, development, benchmarking, and ongoing performance improvement of corporate universities. CUX has an extensive research and publication program on e-learning best practices, and produces conferences featuring presenters from front-running corporate education programs. CUX's next conference, Corporate Universities @ Work: Achieving Success in Business and Government, is October 20-23 in Washington, D.C., where the program focuses on such topics as creating strategic learning partnerships between public and private sectors, developing blended learning solutions to build leadership skills, leveraging e-learning to build workforce competencies, and shifting the focus from training to performance. The complete program is described at

CUX wants to participate more actively in using TS as an information resource throughout the corporate community. Therefore, TS will have a "Birds of a Feather" lunch session during the conference where we will meet with people interested in discussing e-learning in all sectors (and perhaps contributing an article or two). If you are interested in attending this conference, forward this note to Christine Schmidt, CUX Conference Manager (
cschmidt@corpu.com). In the subject line, insert "TS Inquiry." In the message box, explain that you are a TS reader who is responding to the CUX offer of a registration discount.
If you decide to attend, please let me know if you will also be able to attend our "Birds of a Feather" session.
Best.
