Self-Driving Cars and L&D: How We End Up Going The Wrong Way Faster
This session will review key insights from the research literature about the most effective strategies for Learning and Development through the lens of technology innovation theory. We will then evaluate those insights with a practical framework for determining where generative AI can extend, reinforce, and enhance our learning efforts, and where the human-in-the-loop becomes even more necessary to build dynamic, effective, and engaging learning experiences. During this session, you will learn:

This Is Not Another Authoring Tool: A Complete Course, Built Live
Mobile-first changed how software gets built. Design-first will change how courses do. Compozer is the Australian platform that flips the old order: design leads, everything else follows. In this session, the Compozer team makes the case the only way that counts, by showing, not telling: a complete, polished course built from blank page to published, live during the session. No slides. No mockups. Come see what design-first authoring looks like. Bring your skepticism. During this session, you will learn:

AI Made Training Faster. Now It Needs to Make Training Real.
AI has genuinely solved a speed and capacity problem in L&D. Content generation, course authoring, and personalized learning paths now happen dramatically faster than even just a couple of years ago, but speed was never the measure of whether training actually worked; retention and job-readiness were. In this session, we’ll make the case that the next frontier for L&D isn’t making training faster, it’s making it real: live systems, live environments, live consequences, live troubleshooting. We’ll explore what “real” training actually requires, where AI genuinely strengthens it (and where it doesn’t), and how AI-powered platforms can be built around hands-on…

What’s New, What’s Next in Articulate 360
Today, speed is no longer a differentiator; it’s the baseline. When creators can produce training in minutes, the teams that know what good looks like matter more, not less. The gap that matters isn’t how fast you can make it; it’s how effective it is when you do. Changing behavior is where the difference happens. Solution: Articulate has modernized the tools you work in every day, amplified your team with an AI agent that takes the heaviest, most repetitive work off your plate, and opened a way to scale the standards you set across the business. It turns what your…

L&D as a Conductor: Orchestrating People, AI, and Business Priorities
iSpring’s second annual ROI study of 140+ L&D professionals across five regions reveals a 63-percentage-point gap between awareness and practice: 74% feel pressure to prove ROI, but only 11% can actually do so, unchanged from last year. This session unpacks why the gap persists, focusing on design and orchestration rather than tools alone. Through four “paradoxes” uncovered in the data (Passivity, Honesty, Expertise, and Involvement), we’ll show that the teams that succeed aren’t the ones with the best LMS or the biggest AI budget. They’re the ones who act like conductors, aligning business stakeholders, line managers, finance, and technology around…

We Tried All the AI. Here’s What Actually Moved the Needle. (featuring School of Rock)
Every L&D leader right now is fielding some version of the same question: so, what are you actually doing with AI? In this candid Q&A, Sam Dresser, Chief Innovation Officer at School of Rock, shares the unfiltered reality of building an AI-powered learning function across 300+ locations — what they’ve adopted, what they’ve set aside, and the philosophy guiding every decision. With a lean team of three, School of Rock has made collaborative learning the backbone of their strategy: decentralizing content creation to SMEs, using AI to surface insights from learners at scale, and building tools like Perfect Pitch — an AI-powered sales training…

Sales Has RevOps. Engineering Has DevOps. Time Learning & Talent Got Its Own Operating System
Learning and Talent has quietly built its own version of shadow IT: an LMS for delivery, a generic project tool for intake, a spreadsheet for capacity, a goals platform that tracks the OKR but not the work behind it, and — more often than anyone wants to admit — a person carrying the rest in their head. Every other function that scaled past ad hoc work eventually got a system built for how that function actually operates: Sales got RevOps. Engineering got DevOps. Learning and Talent still hasn’t gotten its own operating system — and the patchwork is standing in…

Built to Last, Not Just Fast: The Content Maintenance Problem That Nobody’s Talking About
Your team can create learning content faster than ever with AI, but what happens after a training module is published? Policies update, regulations shift, products get renamed, prices change, and suddenly the accurate course you built a few months ago needs updating. Most leaders don’t find out until legal, a customer, or their manager flags it, and by then, it becomes a full rebuild assigned to a team that’s supposed to be building new work. Plus, learners are increasingly getting answers from search and AI tools that pull from what your organization has already published, so an out-of-date library is…

CMR Institute’s Prescription for Scalable Content Delivery & Protecting IP
Distributing specialized training to external client organizations often leaves intellectual property vulnerable and creates complex course versioning headaches. Non-profit, life-sciences training leader, CMR Institute, remedied this by centralizing course licensing and delivery through Rustici Software’s Content Controller and Launcher. This modern architecture allows them to seamlessly push content updates across diverse client systems while keeping proprietary materials secure. By eliminating technical obstacles and content management friction, their team guarantees universal access for every learner. Join us to discover how CMR Institute transformed external content distribution into a scalable, secure, and effortless operation. During this session, you will learn:
