I hope everyone has survived the scorching summer here in the Middle East, and hopefully even managed to do some travelling. Jason and I both had some time away which was great to recharge the batteries, ready for the busy 2nd half of the year.

In June we attended our first in-person trade show in over a year at the ATD Middle East event. It was a smaller show, but it was lovely to see people again and meet up with friends new and old. I was fortunate enough to be asked to present and discussed how to create world-class e-learning (our mission statement!), plus I went through some of our processes and client case studies.
As the show was a hybrid event, you can view a recording of the presentation here and we’ve also added a full transcription. Let me know what you think!

Our next confirmed show is the biggest of its kind in the Middle East, namely the HR Summit and Expo (HRSE). I’m thrilled to announce that we are going to be a learning sponsor at the show for the very first time! We’ve got some exciting product plans for the event, so make sure you stick it in your diaries for 1-3 November.

One other bit of news I forgot to mention in our last newsletter is that we’re proudly sponsoring the Strugglers Golf Society here in Dubai. It’s one of the largest social golf groups around and they play monthly tournaments at the Arabian Ranches Golf Club. Jason has been playing since last season, and his team even won the tournament last season (not rigged I promise!). I plan to make my debut in October, so wish me luck!! If you’re interested in joining, sign up to their Facebook page here.

Until next time, I wish you all the very best, stay well, and I hope to see you soon.

Best wishes,

Damian Hehir
