The expectations around how companies deliver mandatory training keep rising: build courses faster, update easier, and cut production costs.  This guide focuses on exactly that challenge. We’ll show how we approach this at iSpring and walk through the build step by step, using real examples and AI where it genuinely speeds up the work.

Design thinking is a powerful tool for training but but the real challenge is knowing how to actually use it to design better learning. This workshop moves beyond theory and into hands-on application, showing participants exactly how to put frameworks to work on a real training problem.  

Great learning starts with understanding your audience. But knowing a learner’s job title, experience level, or location only tells part of the story. What do they need? What motivates them? What gets in their way? And what will make the learning feel useful to them?  

AI can generate content, format a slide, and confidently tell you a document passes WCAG 2.2 AA… right before it gets the accessibility wrong. This session was inspired by eight hours of vibe coding a single accessible one-pager: what AI got right, where it quietly broke reading order and heading structure, and why a perfect automated accessibility score isn't the same as what works for real people.  

Whether you are a trainer, a presenter, or a team lead, telling stories sits at the core of what you do. And it might surprise you to learn that PowerPoint is an excellent storytelling tool. With its powerful Animation and Morph tools, its ability to create interactive elements, and its templating system, PowerPoint can help you become more adept at explaining complex concepts and systems.  

As AI accelerates its integration across the learning ecosystem, the mandate for Learning & Development leaders is shifting from delivering learning to architecting intelligent performance systems. Today’s L&D function is being reimagined. From content producers to strategic enablers who harness data, analytics, and AI to drive enterprise capability.  

Your AI-assisted content is teaching your people right now. Can you prove it follows policy? Most L&D leaders can't. Only 23% are completely confident their AI-generated content aligns with organizational policy, and the rules are tightening. The FDA has already penalized ungoverned AI content. FINRA and state regulators are close behind. When an auditor asks you to prove your training is compliant, confidence won't be the answer they want.

Think you're not in sales? Think again. If you've ever led a team, introduced a new idea, coached an employee, navigated change, or asked others to follow your lead, you've been selling all along. The good news? The best leaders don't sell by being pushy. They earn trust, build influence, and inspire people to say "yes."

If you're managing training operations across the country, or globe, this guidebook will help you understand how to start standardizing data and processes to make your life easier.

Accessibility doesn’t have to feel complicated or like just another compliance box to check. In this webinar, we’ll break down what eLearning designers really need to know about accessibility and how to put it into practice. We’ll look at common accessibility challenges across content, visuals, multimedia, navigation, interactions, and assessments and share practical ways to address them.  

Launching a coaching program is the easy part. Making it stick and turning it into a lasting habit that shapes how your organization grows is where most efforts stall. Join us for a candid fireside chat with Nicole McIntosh, Director, HR Business Partner at Princess Cruises, as she shares how her organization moved past the launch phase to build a coaching culture that actually lasts.

The future belongs to organizations that view employee development not as a program, but as an everyday management responsibility. Careers today are built through experiences, skills, exposure, and opportunity—not simply through promotions. Organizations that intentionally help employees learn new skills and then create opportunities for their employees to use those skills will be better positioned to attract, retain, and develop the talent they need to succeed.   

Coaching may not seem the obvious response during moments of critical change. When organizations face mergers, restructures, rapid growth, or leadership transitions, attention typically turns to strategy and execution. This guide shows why that instinct is incomplete. Drawing on behavioral science insight and new CoachHub client data, this guide demonstrates how coaching directly mitigates the risks that derail change and how it delivers measurable impact when uncertainty is at its highest.

Watch average, been-there-done-that designs transform into visually stunning slides real time! This session takes creative professionals through a step-by-step process, revamping poorly designed slides into clear, compelling visuals that captivate audiences and elevate messaging.  

Organizations invest millions in training, yet too often the expected improvement never shows up in workplace performance or business results. The problem is not always the training itself. Employees may leave with the right knowledge and skills, but unclear expectations, limited manager support, competing priorities, inadequate reinforcement, and workplace barriers can prevent them from applying what they learned.  

Many technology and software organizations are shifting toward consumption- or usage-based pricing models. Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies is driving this change due to highly variable compute costs. This shift raises an important question: how can companies successfully structure sales compensation plans under this model?  

Leadership won’t sign off on training budgets because it feels right. They want proof, in numbers they can defend to their own boss. Calculating your training ROI and presenting it clearly shows leaders exactly how your programs are performing and where to adjust to hit company goals, because when training is a real investment, they need to know the money is working. This ebook hands you the data to make that case, no guesswork required. You’ll learn: The real cost of skipping employee training altogether What compliance training, onboarding, upskilling, and reskilling actually cost your organization, broken down by category A clear formula for calculating training ROI, plus a ready-to-use workbook for tracking the numbers on new manager training, compliance, and onboarding

Stop being the best-kept secret in your industry and step into the spotlight you deserve! In this high-octane masterclass, world-renowned pitch master and bestselling author Precious L. Williams reveals how to break through the noise, command respect, and turn your unique story into a magnet for high-paying clients, media, and game-changing opportunities.  

Today fast-paced world requires bold and courageous leaders who possess the rare combination of audacity and emotional intelligence. Audacity is the willingness to take bold risks, but if it’s not coupled with situational awareness and empathy, those risks can create far more problems than they solve.   

Discover how AI is transforming the way we learn, work, and deliver results. In this interactive session, we’ll take a deep dive into how AI accelerates workflow learning—covering both content development and deliverable creation. You’ll explore real-world examples of AI tools in action, seeing how they streamline processes, reduce development time, and help teams create high-quality learning solutions faster than ever before.  

Inspiration gets a bad reputation because we’ve turned it into Hawaiian shirts, pizza parties, and empty slogans. It’s not supposed to be easy or comfortable. True inspiration, the kind that drives performance, is rough and demanding. It thrives in friction, in challenge, and in real accountability, none of which you’ll find in a motivational poster.  

Articulate Rise is beloved for its speed and ease of use, but every designer eventually hits the "Wall"—that moment when the standard block library just can't do what you envisioned. Usually, the answer is "you can't do that in Rise." In this session, we are changing the answer to "yes, you can." We will show you how to break out of the standard constraints by using Custom Blocks powered by "Vibe Coding." You don't need to be a JavaScript expert; you just need to know how to ask the right questions. We will demonstrate how to use AI to write the code for you and how to hook up AI APIs to create dynamic, intelligent interactions that standard Rise courses could never support.  

For too many frontline managers, that's the entire leadership development experience. The manager leaves, the top performer gets promoted, and they're expected to figure out the rest on their own. With little time for formal development, it's no surprise that 67% of frontline managers say they're making it up as they go and 41% question whether accepting the promotion was the right decision. Traditional leadership development simply doesn’t fit the realities of frontline operations.  

Everyone talks about blended learning, but few do it well or at all. Too often it falls into "we know we should do that" bucket of tasks for the overloaded L&D and training professionals.
