ELCE Conference Chairman, Joe DiDonato explains, “The rate of introduction of new learning technologies has more than doubled in the past year. We’re seeing unprecedented amounts of new developments in the LMS, mobile, virtual, and social networking segments.” He went on to add that the LLS is specifically geared to the CLO-level attendee and what they need to know to stay current with the newest learning technologies and trends.

The Learning Leadership Summit features thirteen educational sessions, roundtable discussions and after-the-session “meet and greets” with the speakers and panelists. The Summit spotlights learning industry leaders, as well as new thought leaders such as Sal Khan, Dr. Michael Winston, and John Hunter.

DiDonato went on to say, “One of the dialogs that I look forward to the most is the “meet and greet” with the individuals on the Vendor CEO Power Panel. I don’t think any conference has ever put a panel of top learning company CEO’s together in an open dialog. This will give us an unprecedented opportunity to ask them where they think the industry is going from a both a learning technology standpoint, as well as what they’re seeing at their clients’ operations.”

Forest2Market Joins Treated Wood Council

Charlotte, NC (Vocus) November 23, 2010

Forest2Market®, Inc., a provider of market price data and supply chain expertise for wood products markets, has joined the Treated Wood Council (TWC), the international trade association of the treated wood industry.

“Working with the TWC is very important to us,” says Bill Nocerino, Manager of Forest2Market’s lumber division. “Their mission is to develop and deliver a consistent, powerful message to government authorities on treated wood issues, and we absolutely want to support that mission.”

Mill2Market, Forest2Market’s weekly lumber price reports and benchmarks, provides treaters with the data and market insight they need to make informed business decisions. When a manufacturer’s costs are fixed, the ability to increase profit depends largely on how well it buys. Mill2Market contains special features—like the volume trend, price trend and variability indicators—that help subscribers buy at the right price, and do so confidently.

“Because the success of our business relies on the success of our customers, Forest2Market routinely supports the industry organizations by becoming members and sharing their missions with our Forest2Mill newsletter readers,” said Nocerino. “The Treated Wood Council was a valued source of information and advocacy for me during the ten years I worked in the treated wood industry. If we can do anything to back the work they do, we’re happy to.”

The mission of the treated wood council is to serve all segments of the treated wood industry in the field of government affairs. Members include firms that produce pressure-treated wood products, chemical companies, wood manufacturers supplying products to the preserved wood market, associations whose members are affiliated with the preserved wood market, and companies engaged in activities related to the business of other Council members. The Council monitors and responds to legislation and regulatory activities related to the treated wood industry.

New Titebond® No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue — The Thickest PVA Formulation Available for Vertical Applications

The newest Titebond wood glue is as quick as it is thick.

(PRWEB) August 09, 2011

Franklin International is giving woodworkers and carpenters a thick – and quick – solution for bonding wood in vertical applications with its new Titebond® No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue.

Titebond No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue is the highest viscosity PVA wood glue on the market. It stays right where it’s put, for easy, neat gluing of interior trim carpentry from floor to ceiling – from baseboards to crown molding, chair railing to decorative cabinetry pieces, and beyond.

The newest Titebond wood glue lets woodworkers and trim carpenters get the job done quickly, too. It is Franklin International’s fastest-drying PVA wood glue, providing three to five minutes of working time. Its strong initial tack holds trim in place as soon as it is positioned, enabling the craftsman to move right on to the next piece.

Although it eliminates the mess thinner wood glues likely would cause, Titebond No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue also provides the additional convenience of water cleanup. Plus, once applied and cured, it can be easily sanded for the superior finish professionals demand. In addition, water-based formulation makes it safe for people and the environment.

“Titebond No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue gives craftsmen a fast, easy and professional way to handle wood bonding jobs in any situation where traditional glue might run and potentially compromise the quality of the finished project,” said Franklin International’s director of marketing Craig Stone. “It is the perfect fit for our line of Titebond wood glues and for both the professional carpenter’s toolbox or a shelf in the home workshop.”

Titebond No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue is available in eight- and 16-ounce bottles through woodworking stores as well as major hardware stores and builder supply stores. For more information, woodworkers and carpenters can visit http://www.titebond.com or call Franklin International Technical Service at (800) 347-4583.

Intrepid Learning Is Named Top 20 Learning Portal Company

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

Trainingindustry.com today announced that Intrepid Learning (http://www.intrepidls.com) has been selected as a Top 20 Learning Portal Company for 2011.

TrainingIndustry.com continuously reviews companies that provide training services and technologies to major global customers, and conducts an annual assessment to determine suppliers’ experience and capabilities.

The TrainingIndustry.com Top 20 Learning Portal Company list spotlights the world’s leading companies that are innovating – and moving to market – learning technologies that are increasingly social, collaborative, and virtual.

Earlier in 2011, Intrepid Learning was selected by TrainingIndustry.com as a Top 20 Content Development Company and a Top 20 Training Outsourcing firm.

As a Top 20 Learning Portal Company, Intrepid had to demonstrate excellence in six key areas:

    Breadth of functionality and capabilities
    Commitment to the corporate training industry
    Industry visibility, innovation and impact
    Number and strength of clients
    Geographic reach
    Company size and growth potential

“We’re tremendously honored that TrainingIndustry.com has recognized us again this year as a Top 20 Learning Portal Company,” says Sam Herring, Intrepid’s President and Co-Founder. “We believe learning technology is at a cross-roads. In a new era of collaborative, mobile, gaming and social applications, old learning technologies designed around the classroom model do not meet the needs of sophisticated customers with demanding learner populations. Today, we have the opportunity to harness and maximize the 90% of learning that takes place outside of the classroom. That’s why we designed our suite of informal learning technology solutions to enable the self-directed learner to rapidly access and apply learning that is relevant to them at the moment of need. In a relentlessly unpredictable, complex and fast-paced business environment our goal is to help organizations implement solutions that enhance business agility, workforce productivity and profitability.”

Adds Ken Taylor, Chief Operating Officer of Trainingindustry.com: “TrainingIndustry.com recognizes Intrepid Learning as an industry leader when it comes to expertise and experience in creating innovative technology solutions and content for training, learning and development. We are always impressed by the innovation and thought leadership the team brings to our marketplace.”
