According to Sarah Sweby, marketing manager, World of Learning: “The exhibition is the perfect opportunity for visitors to meet suppliers face-to-face, source new products and services and negotiate the best deals.”

We guarantee that you will come away from the event with essential knowledge and new ideas to enhance your business learning,” adds Sarah.
