Learning Technology 2024 | Closer Still Media | 16 April 2024 | ExCeL London, Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Gateway, London E16 1XL, UK

Learning Technologies is the world’s leading conference dedicated to technology-supported learning in the workplace.

As always, we have put together a programme to explore what’s happening and what learning and development professionals need to stay informed and keep ahead.

While AI undoubtedly plays a prominent role, our agenda also delves into crucial aspects such as content design, skills development, and personal growth. Most importantly, we take a good look at the human element - focusing on the sharing of knowledge, building capabilities, and preparing for the future. After all, when the machines have done their work, what differentiates and creates value, if it isn’t the people?

Conference themes
• Skills, talent and learning
These sessions look at understanding the skills of your organisation to align talent and learning with business goals, putting L&D at the heart of the business.
• Future L&D
In the middle of change, how do you set your learning strategy? How should L&D departments run? This is all about helping you set your long-term strategy.
• Professional development
What are the key skills and attitudes to be successful today? How can you accelerate your career? And how can you stay curious during these demanding times?
• Tools and technologies
Whether it’s understanding how to create a learning eco system for a global enterprise or assessing which tools are useful, and which just hype, we’ve got you covered here.
• AI, data and analytics
Showing impact is more important than ever for L&D, but it can’t be done with activity metrics. On this track, we’ll look at how to understand, interpret and report on data to work as part of the business.
• Learning experience design
Design in learning has come a long way, from focusing on content to putting the learner experience first and optimising it for personal and organisational impact. Find out how on these sessions.
• Programme implementation
Learn from case studies and hard-won advice from people who have been there and done it. These sessions will help you avoid common pitfalls and steer your way to success.
