The Learning Tracks are a unique aspect of Envision ’08 and one of the features we’re most proud to offer. Instead of selecting several different workshops or break-out sessions to attend, each conference attendee will select one Learning Track for the entire conference. Through four 90-minute sessions, the Learning Tracks will give everyone at the conference a chance to take on a focused course of study in an area of interest, under a leading expert in the field.
