Behind every great conference is a simple question: What do learning professionals need most right now?
At the Learning Guild, we don’t answer that question alone.
This year, we’re proud to introduce our 2026 Advisory Committee—an accomplished group of learning leaders representing diverse industries, roles, and perspectives across the learning and development profession.
This committee is more than just a collection of impressive titles. They’re actively sharing their experience and insights to help shape the conversations, challenges, and opportunities that will define Learning Leadership 2026 and DevLearn 2026. Drawing from real-world leadership challenges, they are identifying the most relevant and future-focused programming.
As you explore this year’s Learning Leadership and DevLearn programs, you’ll see the impact of their contributions reflected throughout the agenda, and we can’t wait for you to experience the results.
Explore the DevLearn 2026 program and Learning Leadership 2026 program.
We’re honored to collaborate with this exceptional group of practitioners and grateful for the role they play in helping us create experiences that are timely, relevant, and valuable for the Learning Guild community.
