Designed by L&D Professionals
just like you
Last year Rustica Lamb noticed that learning and development professionals were having a hard time keeping up with the latest technology and trends.
The solution was simple, she decided to create a workshop event where they could have a play with new tech and learn hands-on and eLab was born.
The first eLab workshop was in 2016 which saw a group of 50 come together in Auckland. It was a runaway success with L&D practitioners learning low cost and free tools to help them create engaging elearning. eLearnz eLab is now a yearly event on the calendar.
Rustica and her team continually scan learning and development trends and technologies globally to ensure they bring the latest in technology to the eLearnz events. We also like to have fun, so there’s plenty of competitions with great prizes.
eLearnz eLab will be a 1 day workshop held 3rd August in Auckland, following the eLearnz Conference on 1st & 2nd August. This will be an opportunity for NZ learning and development professionals to come together to hear the latest in digital learning trends and learn from international thought leaders. Of course there will also be plenty of ideas and discussion as well as plenty of fun and networking to be had!

Rustica travels and searches the world for the best people, tools and technology and brings them to New Zealand so that we can all share in the latest trends that make our world and workplaces a better place to be.

We are the Ones
That’s our theme, We are the ones, as in The Matrix. Ticket prices are affordable thanks to some awesome sponsors (could that be you?)
Join us for eLab – you’ll be hands-on with the very latest in technology and trends. Get ready to learn, be inspired and have fun.
Venue: Cliftons, L4 45 Queen Street, Auckland
eLab is themed ‘we are the ones’. We are the ones to impact business performance and growth, the ones to use technology to increase staff productivity, and we are the ones who can advise the business whether training is or isn’t the right solution for their people problems. We are the ones who should be trusted advisors not order takers.
Trends move so quickly in this digital age. Learning and development professionals must keep up-to-date and informed with the latest technology and techniques or risk being left behind. eLab is a day of mini workshops with the focus on the latest in digital learning trends, technology and design. You will learn hands-on from amazing respected global and local leaders during which you will actively create digital learning items. You will go away with up-to-date training methods that you can put into practice immediately back at your organisation and pass along to your team.
We will celebrate success with the best learning piece winning a Samsung VR headset!
So if you are a learning and development professional interested in keeping up with the latest, this is the workshop for you!
