Exclusively for Senior Learning and Development Leaders
The world of workplace learning is changing. Technology is advancing faster than ever, and the challenges of keeping your learning strategies ahead of these changes continues to grow.
The eLearning Guild's Executive Forum returns to DevLearn as a place for you to collaborate with peers on discovering solutions to these challenges. It is an exclusive event for senior learning and development leaders that consists of a one-day experience prior to DevLearn, plus the opportunity to continue the connections and conversations through exclusive learning opportunities at the conference. It is a unique opportunity to help you and your organization build strategies that address the key challenges of the modern learning organization.
What to Expect at the Executive Forum
The Executive Forum is your opportunity to engage with industry experts and other senior learning leaders as you look to make sense of learning technologies and how they impact your organizational strategy.
The day will consist of talks by industry experts exploring critical topics, as well as informal opportunities to engage with those experts. The Executive Forum will examine case studies that look at six cutting-edge examples of modern learning strategies implemented by other senior leaders.
Throughout the Executive Forum you’ll have multiple opportunities to put what you’re learning into context via facilitated discussions with your peers.
Continue the Conversation at DevLearn
The conversations don’t end at the close of the forum; Executive Forum attendees have access to an exclusive lounge throughout DevLearn. It’s your space to continue the connections and conversations that started at the forum, or to take a break, grab a cup of coffee, and catch up on emails. We’ll also be hosting a special lunch in the lounge on Wednesday and Thursday exclusively for forum attendees, so you will have a dedicated opportunity to continue the conversations with your peers.
Join us in exploring the biggest challenges you have in your organization, and collaborate with other senior learning leaders preparing to harness the potential of the changes coming to the field of L&D.
