Diane and I are excited to be working with a strong team of committee members and we both feel really privileged to be able to co-chair an event which has been a huge part of our working lives for a number of years. Collaboration, empowerment and supporting improvement are all values we both share in our day-to-day work and something we hope to bring to the conference through the themes and via the work alongside the committee. Keep an eye open for future blog posts from others within the committee.

Another of the findings from this survey was dedicated time being the biggest challenge for digital transformation within organisations who responded. Additionally, within the Professional Development in Learning Technology survey findings, the importance of professional recognition continues to increase year on year and more professionals are seeking to change jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, we held our first committee meeting which included some thought-provoking discussion \u2013 including conversations about keynote speakers who have resonated previously and reflection on formats we feel have and have not worked at various conferences we\u2019ve attended.
