In 2020, amidst the Covid pandemic, Global eLearning hosted it’s first global conference to showcase the stories that are shaping the future. The annual conference was broadcast globally. The monthly video series is designed to take that concept forward to create an ongoing look at the stories that are shaping our future, even as the world begins to reconvene for more in-person events.
