The Professional Landcare Network announced their newest educational concept, the Learning Lounge, which will debut at the Green Industry Conference, which runs October 23 to 25 and is held in conjunction with the GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky.

The Learning Lounge will feature more than a dozen short, 20-minute "TED-talk" style sessions, a "Genius Bar" where people can talk with experts and network with colleagues, and the PLANET Marketplace, featuring PLANET publications for sale.

The concept for the Learning Lounge's compact education sessions is based on research showing that people want quick, top-line education that is jam-packed into shorter sessions and provide only the most important information on a particular topic. The sessions are included in the GIC conference registration.
