London (UK) / Singapore (SG), December 2016 - CloserStill Media, the London-based exhibition and conference organiser, has announced the acquisition of LEARNTech Asia from Kydon Holdings for an undisclosed sum. CloserStill, recently ranked number 10 in the Sunday Times International FastTrack 200 of the UK’s fastest-growing exporters, will incorporate LEARNTech Asia into its launch of the Learning Technologies Asia conference and exhibition, to be held 08-09 November 2017 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
Learning Technologies Asia 2017 is a sister-event of Learning Technologies, Europe’s largest and longest-running annual event for workplace learning. The London gathering draws more than 7,500 visitors and 250 exhibitors.
Learning Technologies Asia will be the region's leading event for organisational learning and the technology used to support learning at work. With a three-track thought-leadership conference, an exhibition showcasing all the leading suppliers, and more than 50 free seminars, it will be the must-attend event for all learning-and-development professionals.
Commenting on the acquisition and the launch plans for Learning Technologies Asia, CloserStill Director, Mark Penton, said, "We’ve been watching the development of the workplace-learning market in Asia for some time, and Singapore has quickly established itself as the regional leader in the sector. We’ve admired what LEARNTech Asia has done to help develop the sector and look forward to putting on a great event in Singapore next year."
Kydon founder and CEO, David Yeo, who will continue to be involved in shaping the education agenda for Learning Technologies Asia with CloserStill, added, "We are proud of the LEARNTech Asia conference, and we are delighted to team up with the organiser of the biggest event in Europe for this industry.
