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.  

There’s no pause button on the frontline. Every minute matters for cashiers, construction crews, restaurant teams, healthcare staff, and countless others who must perform in real time while serving customers and keeping operations moving. Yet many organizations still rely on training approaches that pull people away from the work instead of supporting performance within it.  

The session is for both internal and external trainers and consultants. This session walks you through the process of differentiating what you do from the value you bring. Using a business canvas you will be asked to draft your plan for promoting your work including your market differentiators. You will see examples of well formed and less well form value statements. You will leave with rules and tips for describing why clients should hire you.  

Is your virtual training inclusive and accessible? Does it provide opportunities for learners with disabilities such as low vision, hearing issues, or neurodiversity to participate? In this interactive session, you will learn specific techniques to include everyone in your virtual training classes.  

"Influence Inside and Out: Read People, Read Yourself, Respond Better" brings together Alan Stevens and Elaina Zuker to teach participants how to understand both their own influence style and the personalities of others.

Artificial intelligence is not replacing human coaching—it’s amplifying it. This session reveals how AI can serve as a reinforcement partner by analyzing progress, customizing coaching plans, and keeping development continuous. Through examples using CoachApplyBuilder.ai and QALMS (Questions, Activities, Learning, Motivator, Supplemental Coaching), participants will see how technology can bridge the gap between training completion and ongoing application.

Virtual instructor-led training (VILT) has become a foundational part of the modern learning mix. New research from Training magazine and Class shows that nearly all organizations now offer VILT (98% surveyed), and many rely on it for a significant portion of their overall training programs.

Virtual instructor-led training does not have to feel like a long webinar filled with passive listeners and muted microphones. With the right tools and activity design, you can create highly interactive sessions that keep learners thinking, contributing, and collaborating.  

In this Webinar, attendees will explore: Data that reveals the high business cost of employees not being able to find the right content when they need it AI's role in helping to close the findability gap A practical framework to assess and address the findability gap in your organization Case studies detailing strategies for success 

Quickly and efficiently make professional infographics. To stay current, designers want to adopt "Agile methodologies." This innovative/cutting-edge workshop shows (step-by-step) how to use Agile to turn words into professional, compelling infographics quickly. Learn the proven techniques and tools the pros use to do more with less.   

A popular tool for assessing learner knowledge and attitudes is a multiple-choice test. But how many of us know the ins and outs of effective multiple-choice questions?  

Many presenters act like every good idea has to be original. We call BS on that! Some of the smartest, sharpest presentation tips out there are hiding in plain sight, yours for the borrow-, um, no, they are yours to steal, just like your webinar leader did.

AI is transforming the workplace at breakneck speed, but one capability remains distinctly human: the ability to influence. Studies from Harvard Business Review and the World Economic Forum confirm that influence is the #1 skillset for success in 2026 and beyond. Yet as high tech surges forward, the "human in the loop" — the interpersonal side of communication — continues to lag behind.  

If learning experts really want to design sustainable digital training, then it is unfortunately not enough to upload a PDF here, insert some nice pictures there, add some multiple-choice questions and nice animation, everything as simple and fast as possible. If you want sustained behaviour change, you must invest more: not necessarily money - but ideas and a transfer vision. So, let's do it right! And right does not mean to buy yet ANOTHER top software package, more technical features, or an additional content nugget. Because training design is only one of three areas that are crucial for transfer success. The other two are participants and organisations.  

Is your virtual training inclusive and accessible? Does it provide opportunities for learners with disabilities such as low vision, Why do some teams rise under pressure while others stall? Why do some employees recover quickly from setbacks while others disengage?  

Static slides can share information, but smart learning responds, adapts, and engages. Variables are one of the most powerful (and often underused) tools available to eLearning developers. When applied strategically, they allow you to transform linear content into intelligent, responsive learning experiences that react to learner input and behavior. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to turn traditional slide-based courses into dynamic learning environments using practical, real-world variable techniques.

Training alone can’t keep pace with today’s speed of change—and relying solely on ADDIE and traditional training models keeps L&D stuck in a cycle of rework, long timelines, and limited impact.  

The Challenge: Sales enablement is under more pressure than ever: sellers are drowning in content, managers are stretched too thin to coach, and leaders are demanding proof that enablement drives real revenue outcomes, not just training completion. Meanwhile, buyers have changed, sales cycles have changed, and the proliferation of tools has made it harder (not easier) to execute consistently.  

Leadership programs often look successful. Engagement is strong. Feedback is positive. But a few months later, under real operating pressure, decision patterns look much the same. Leaders can explain the model — yet their choices don’t shift in meaningful ways.  

For learning and development professionals, trainers, and organizational leaders, a well-positioned book is more than a personal milestone — it’s a powerful tool for credibility, influence, and career advancement. When done strategically, a book can clarify your point of view, elevate your expertise, and position you as a trusted authority inside and outside your organization. In this session, you’ll learn how to turn your professional knowledge into a book that strengthens your leadership presence and expands your impact.  

How can we engage Gen Z learners with DOS-based mainframe systems, alien to a generation raised on Windows? In this session you’ll learn how to transform dry, technical topics into lively, learner-friendly experiences by leveraging storytelling, quirky characters, unexpected surprises, and interactive design.
