Practical Learning Strategies for Today's Leaders
Learning leaders are tasked with preparing their organizations for a constantly changing future landscape, even as learning leaders increasingly function as key members of their organizations’ leadership and strategic planning teams.
The Learning Leaders Forum is the place to discover the ideas and solutions that will help you meet the challenges of today—and collaborate with peers to build strategies to power your success in the months and years ahead.
What to Expect at the Forum
At the Learning Leaders Forum you will be able to:
- Connect with like-minded learning leaders
- Engage with industry experts
- Collaboratively uncover solutions to key challenges
- Explore ways to incorporate those solutions into your learning strategy
The Forum comprises talks by handpicked industry experts who will explore critical topics—including exclusive opportunities to engage with those experts. It features case studies that look at innovative examples of modern learning strategies implemented by other leaders, as well as multiple opportunities to put these ideas into context via facilitated discussions with your peers.
