Learning Solutions 2011 - Prepping for the big event

I'm super excited to be heading to the Learning Solutions 2011 conference being held in Orlando.  My week has begun with an impromptu social chat in the lobby with some great leaders in the industry including Brent Schlenker, Mark Oehlert, Jane Bozarth and Judy

So my line up for what I am planning to attend is still up in the air a bit.  There are so many great sessions, but here is what I'm leaning towards:

Tuesday I'll be attending the Certificate Program - "Gamification: Using Game Mechanics to Create Engaging e-Learning"

Wednesday's plan is to start the day with either Mobile Learning or ID for Learners with a Very Short Attention Span. 
Then onto the keynote - Brain Rules for Learning by Dr. John Medina
Following this I'm planning on moving into the expo to look around, network, check out the master classes and connect with the people at Articulate.
The Afternoon is set for me to attend

• Creating Engaging Learning Designs
• Social Learning without the Technology
• Lessons Learned from 200 Rapid eLearning Gurus

Somewhere between those three I'd like to fit in some of the ID Zone talks including Taming the Overwhelm and Three Things You Should know about Designing Learning (That are Wrong).

Thursday is less specific.  I start the day off not knowing where to begin.  I'm draw to 3 different Morning Buzz sessions:

• Free Tools to Develop eLearning
• Instructional Design Ruts

Then follows Thursday's keynote - Resonate: Presenting Visual Stories that Transform Learners and Audiences by Nancy Duarte
Then  my plan continues with Eight Ways You Can Build Better Quizzes with Articulate Quizmaker, followed by How to Create Decision Making Scenarios on Any Budget.
Next I'll be deciding between:

• Elearning Project Management Principles and Practices
• Finding and Using OER
• Your Brain on Graphics

This day finishes with Ignite! A Spectrum of Ideas on Learning.

Once again, during these sessions (above) I'd like to tray to get to any or all of these ones that are running in other areas:

• Working with SMEs
• Understanding Media Types
• HTML 5 - Everything You Always Wanted to Know to Get Started
• Size Matters - What can you really show on a mobile device screen
• The Art of Storyboarding

Friday continues in the same manner, but I think I'll reserve judgement on those sessions for now.  After mixing and matching some of the above topics around as the week goes on it will be difficult to know just what will pique my curiosity most by Friday.

Exciting and exhausting all at the same time.
