OutStart, the leading provider of eKnowledge software solutions for learning and knowledge sharing, today announced it will host and sponsor a seminar focused on learning and knowledge sharing within UK military and defence organisations. The seminar will discuss current key issues and trends, best practices and vision for organizations looking to manage and improve MoD workers’ competency and performance. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. on October 16, 2007 at the RBS Williams F1 Conference Centre, Grove, Oxfordshire, England.

Leaders from the Ministry of Defence, as well as government contractors, and learning and knowledge experts, will discuss current and future capabilities of the Defence Learning Portal, and present case studies on the state of learning and knowledge sharing within the military. OutStart executives will share market observations and the company’s vision for knowledge sharing and collaborative knowledge management.

“OutStart is actively involved with the UK MoD and defence organizations and contractors around the world to help them better train and share knowledge,” said Peter Nicol, Managing Director of OutStart EMEA.  “This seminar isn’t about selling product, it’s about getting together with learning and knowledge sharing leaders in the MoD and MoD contractors to share ideas and collaborate.  OutStart is pleased to be able to sponsor such an event.”
