This program explores how to activate employee purpose, connection, and strategic contribution through a modernized approach to training and development.

Corporate training is a billion-dollar business. And why do organizations take the associated effort and enormous costs upon themselves? Why do we continue to send executives and employees to training? The answer from companies usually is "We invest in training because we expect these investments to produce positive results for us. We expect trainees to learn, and then apply what they’ve learned to their world". So, successful transfer is the goal and the key expectation behind the investment.

In a world full of distractions, how do you make training stick? The answer lies in connecting with people on a human level. Join learning design experts Christy Tucker, Garima Gupta and Rance Greene as they explore how to leverage the power of storytelling and scenarios to create memorable and impactful learning experiences.  

Today's learners expect more than information—they expect meaningful, relevant experiences that help them grow and adapt. Yet too often, training programs are designed from the organization's perspective rather than the learner's, leading to disengagement and wasted potential. In a rapidly changing environment, we must rethink how we approach learning design—starting not with content, but with human needs.  

Recent advances in AI and machine learning have made immersive learning a powerful, adaptive and accessible tool that is relatively underutilized in many talent leaders’ toolkits.  

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion unveiling fresh insights from SalesFuel’s 2025 Voice of the Sales Rep survey. This comprehensive study captures the perspectives of 830 salespeople from U.S. companies with five or more sales professionals, shedding light on the motivations, challenges, and perceptions that shape today’s sales teams.  

Only 20% of sellers say they prepare sales discovery questions based on research prior to making calls. This finding, from SalesFuel’s Voice of the Sales Rep study, reveals that not many reps are taking full advantage of prospect insights to tailor their conversations. The share of sellers who skip preparing research-backed questions is highest among Gen Zers, with only 19% reporting that they do. In contrast, at least 30% of millennials, Gen Xers, and baby boomers prepare questions based on research. This may be due to lack of experience. Younger reps may not realize the boost in engagement and insights they can get from hard-hitting, relevant questions. Sales discovery question prep is also low among those working at smaller companies (with employees numbering 50 and fewer). Likely, lack of time is a factor, as small-company employees are stretched thin.

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense promise for transforming workplace learning—enable personalized performance support, streamline content curation, analyze and predict learning patterns. But under the hood, these systems often reflect hidden biases, questionable data practices, and oversimplified algorithms that can unintentionally exclude, misinform, or misguide learners. As L&D professionals, we must go beyond technical fascination to ask: Who trained this model? On what data? And at whose expense?  

Organizations are shifting from traditional courses to in-the-moment, just-in-time support that embeds learning directly into daily workflows. This transformation not only improves knowledge transfer but also accelerates the application of skills where they matter most. Explore this change with guidance from Panopto, known for enabling organisations to connect people with the right knowledge at the right moment.
