Penton Technology is excited to introduce our new Penton Technology Professional Education platform, an interactive online education experience for technology professionals. 

“Our new education platform allows tech professionals to enhance their careers, advance their skills and access critical education on-demand,” said Rod Trent, Education and Conferences Director for Penton Technology.

The contemporary site is easy to navigate on all mobile devices and desktops. Besides access to exclusive courses taught by seasoned pros, the platform features interactive material, including embedded videos, quizzes, photos and graphics. The courses have been designed to provide high-quality continuing education in a convenient and user-friendly format.

“We’re seeing significant growth in interest in our deep dive, peer-based training at both our conferences and our eLearning classes,” Trent added.  “That’s why we are creating a professional development ecosystem that capitalizes on learning-focused content at our conferences, on our web sites and forums, and at new on-site learning events we’ll soon be rolling out across the country.” 

To celebrate the debut of the new platform, by Thought Industries, Penton Technology is discounting all on-demand classes by 20% through July 15. The expanded course offerings compliment Penton Technology’s onsite conference training.  

This year IT/Dev Connections, which runs Oct. 10-13 at the ARIA Resort in Las Vegas, will present new on-site classes on various cloud services and Windows 10, and introduce on-site Microsoft certifications for the first time, including some that will not be available at Microsoft’s Ignite conference in September. There’s also an extensive array of new professional development workshops being offered at our upcoming Data Center World and HostingCon conferences.

We’d love to get your feedback on the new platform. Send it to [email protected].
