The world does not wait for you to keep up. We want to stay informed on the newest developments, trends, techniques and ideas, which makes lifelong learning not a myth, but a stonecold necessity. Knowledge is the key to growth, innovation, understanding, communication and success. You first need to know how something works, before you can gather experience in other fields. But mere numbers and letters do not get you there. Learning is also listening to others who know more than you do, following practical sessions where 'old hands' show you how it is done.
