Instead, Masie is building his Learning Festival in New York this July to explore, network, and engage on learning, business/workforce shifts, AI, technology, storytelling - and adding the magic of Broadway.

Over the past forty years, Elliott Masie has created and produced six events and conferences in the learning, support, technology, and eLearning fields. "I am very excited to design and produce a very different event - with a different feel and format - to serve a changing community," he said of the upcoming Learning Festival. Masie has been the founder and producer of computer-training and support conferences, the TechLearn events, learning conferences, and interactive conferences, as well as being a TONY-nominated Broadway producer of over 40 shows.

Masie added, "The Learning Festival will be an evolved design of a gathering for a field, marketplace, industry, and economy that are changing. The design for the Learning Festival will be built collaboratively by dozens of learning leaders and CLOs helping to create a uniquely different event. We plan to produce Learning Festivals in other parts of the world in 2024."
