Meet the 2026 Learning Guild Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee brings together an accomplished group of learning leaders, representing a variety of industries, varying roles, and professional perspectives.

Committee members are actively sharing their experience and insights, which will assist the Learning Guild team in crafting Learning Leadership 2026 peer-to-peer discussions and DevLearn Conference & Expo session topics, all of which will be reflected in Learning Guild online content. Drawing from real-world leadership challenges, they are identifying the most relevant and future-focused programming.

By grounding our events and content in authentic practitioner perspectives, the Advisory Committee plays a critical role in shaping in-person experiences that are actionable and closely aligned with the realities of modern learning.

The Learning Guild team is honored to collaborate with this outstanding group of learning practitioners.
