Blended learning has evolved—but too many organizations are still designing blends that rely heavily on training, leaving real performance needs unmet. This webinar reveals how workflow learning transforms blended learning from a training-centric model into a performance-centric one that accelerates capability, reduces overwhelm, and drives measurable results.

The hardest leadership transition in any pipeline isn't the first-time manager or the CEO successor — it's the middle. The skills that make a great functional leader actively work against them as an enterprise leader. And it's the jump L&D struggles with most.  

For years, many in talent development have felt like they are on a hamster wheel—taking orders for courses and building content without always seeing the needle move. In this session, based on her ATD TD at Work guide (Become a Strategic Learning Architect With AI), Debbie Richards shares a practical playbook for making the leap from content creator to strategic architect.  

Every day, a new AI tool launches with the promise of revolutionizing Learning and Development, creating a constant state of urgency and "shiny object syndrome." For Learning Leaders, the challenge is no longer finding technology; it is filtering through the noise to find what actually adds value. In this mindset-focused session, we are hitting pause on the hype cycle to focus on criticality. We will explore how to stop chasing every new "squirrel" and start building a deliberate, effective tech stack. 

The all-star team is back. Dr. Karl Kapp, Dr. Ellen Wagner, and Dr. David Metcalf join host Dr. Anders Gronstedt for a sharp, opinionated conversation about the shift reshaping L&D: from content delivery to real capability development. The organizations pulling ahead are combining AI and XR to shrink the distance between learning and doing, putting practice at the point of need and performance support inside the workflow. This panel shares what that looks like in practice, and how to get there. 

Women with greater speaking skills are viewed as 75% more credible.

Overcome the bias that associates male voices with leadership. Learn to use precise words and vocal patterns to project the authority and credibility traditionally linked to powerful male voices.  

Canva just dropped its biggest product launch ever, and L&D professionals have a front-row seat to some genuinely game-changing tools.

How do you protect your brand when you don’t own the front line? In a world of distributed workforces, franchise models, and a rapidly shifting learner demographic, traditional L&D is hitting a wall. If your training feels like a "corporate mandate" rather than a "performance tool," you aren't just losing engagement—you’re losing your competitive edge.

When a stakeholder needs high-stakes training now, you’re usually forced to choose: a quick-fix eLearning course that doesn't build skills, or a manual branching scenario that takes all quarter to build.  

One of the best attended presentations at Training 2026, this session had them clapping, laughing, and learning. It was a perfect way to start the conference and a perfect webinar for any learning professional struggling with competing priorities, expectations, and demands.  

Performance under pressure is paramount, yet most organizations allocate 90% of their training budgets to knowledge delivery rather than the practice that drives behavioral change. Since 70% of skill acquisition occurs through experience, many employees enter high-stakes interactions without the muscle memory necessary to perform.  

What if engagement wasn’t about getting everyone to participate the same way, but about designing multiple levels of participation on purpose? In this session, we’ll unpack lessons from the Ultimate L&D Throwdown (ULT), a high-energy learning experience that reimagined participation by creating multiple pathways for learners to engage, whether through quiet reflection, structured contribution, or high-stakes performance.  

Organizations invest heavily in leadership development, yet performance breakdowns persist. Decisions stall, accountability becomes unclear, and standards are applied inconsistently. The issue isn’t a lack of training, it’s a gap between leadership capability and real-world execution.  

The last few years have reshaped the workforce in ways we can’t ignore— 10 million people experienced a layoff, 1 in 5 is managing caregiving, and countless teams are navigating the ripple effects of uncertainty. For HR and talent leaders, that means culture is fragile, engagement is slipping, and the margin for error with leadership has never been smaller.  

Most organizations invest in leadership training, but giving every manager consistent practice, feedback, and coaching in the moments that matter is a challenge that traditional programs alone can't solve at scale.  

What happens when six promising learning startups take the virtual stage — each with just five minutes to pitch their innovative approach?  

Generative AI is reshaping the learning landscape, with research from McKinsey showing it can automate over 20% of workforce training hours globally. But beyond the buzz, where is AI truly creating impact today - and how can enterprises adopt it responsibly and at scale?  

A good makeover tells the whole story -- the missteps, the fixes, and the choices that transform a presentation from forgettable to compelling. This session pulls back the curtain on that process. You’ll watch real slides, narratives, and visual sequences get rebuilt in real time, revealing the specific decisions that create clarity, impact, and connection.

Discover how artificial intelligence can transform the way you approach performance support and training. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how to design AI-powered coaching abilities that make learning more personalized, engaging, and scalable for your employees.  

We are operating in an era of continuous transformation. Nearly 90% of organizations are leading major change initiatives but less than a third see sustained results, and employees are reporting change fatigue.

Many organizations are racing to introduce AI across the workforce, but most initiatives stop at basic awareness or tool training. Employees learn how AI works, but they rarely change how they actually do their jobs. As a result, AI tools sit unused, and the promised productivity gains never materialize.  

Resilience has become one of the most valuable currencies in business, as leaders face constant change. This session explores how leaders can turn uncertainty, change and "perma-crises" into a strategic advantage by embedding resilience into their mindset, culture, and measurement frameworks.
