The build up to this year’s PA Forum Learning & Development Conference is gathering momentum with the announcement of an exciting new partnership with Realise, a training provider with over 35 years experience in the work based learning industry. We are delighted to bring Realise on board to work with us not just for this year’s conference but also with a long term vision of creating a meaningful and mutually beneficial strategic partnership. With this year’s Learning & Development conference less than a month away, it’s already proving to be a relationship that we know will bring added value and new opportunities to our members.
Visitors to this year’s conference will see a glimpse of what Realise has to offer if they book a place at the Skills of the Future Theatre where
Owen Piddock, Head of Learning Technology and Product will be delivering a session called ‘Bringing Clarity to the Chaos: Practical planning for even better outcomes‘ which will be all about challenging the idea that project management is all about tasks and timelines. If you enjoy Owen’s session then you can find out more about Realise and what they offer at their exhibition stand in the main hall of the conference.

Speaking about the partnership, PA Forum founder Daniel Skermer said:
“We are so excited to be working with Realise, from the moment that we met with their team we knew that there was a real synergy between our two organisations. We know that the training and work based learning that Realise provide is something that we get asked about a lot by our members so it will be great to be able to refer them and all of the options that Realise have at their disposal. We see this strategic partnership as something that will develop and evolve in time and we’re sure that PA Forum members will benefit from their knowledge and expertise.“
Karen Matthews, Director of Business Skills at Realise also commented on the partnership:
“We’re delighted to be sponsoring this year’s PA Forum Learning and Development Conference. At Realise, we believe in the power of learning to unlock potential, and we’re looking forward to connecting with professionals at the heart of the workplace. The individuals attending the event play a critical role in driving organisational success, and we’re proud to support their development with the skills and confidence needed to thrive. We’ll be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions -just look out for our bright orange stand- and we’re excited to be delivering a session to share practical insights attendees can take away and apply immediately to their role.”
