Update in Response to the Evolving COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Situation

 

The health and safety of our valued customers are of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, we have made the decision to postpone our Teaching and Learning Conference for the Middle East and Africa region (TLC MEA2020). We understand the inconveniences that may arise as a result of this decision and we regret the disruption caused.

The event will be rescheduled for October 12-14, 2020 and will be held in the same location in Dubai. We are planning a great agenda and we look forward to welcoming you at this date. Please sign up for updates with breaking news on registration, speakers, sessions, special offers and more.
