Learn-IT e-Badge
Your e-badge may be used as an indicator of the skills you've gained in attendance of this year's Learn-IT conference. This e-badge will alert others of what you have earned, where you've earned your e-badge, and who issued your standard training in Learn-IT. The meta-data within the e-badge verifies the criteria of your achievement and significance of earning this milestone.
