The Learning and Development industry is experiencing a pivotal moment. Evolving workforce expectations, accelerating business change, and increasing pressure to demonstrate impact are reshaping how organizations approach talent development. The leaders at the forefront are building skills-based workforces, strengthening human-centered leadership, leveraging data with intention, and creating cultures of continuous learning that position their organizations for long-term resilience and growth.
At this edition of the CLO Exchange, we’ll show you how to do just that.
This edition brings together 60+ curated L&D executives to explore the strategies and innovations redefining modern learning, from data-informed decision-making and adaptive learning ecosystems to inclusive development, leadership excellence, and cultivating everyday learning cultures. Join the leaders who are redefining people development and discover how to build an agile, high-impact L&D function that is ready for the future of work

WHAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT
Event Key Themes
Data & Analytics for Strategic
Impact
Across the agenda, L&D leaders are challenged to elevate their influence by using data more effectively. The program emphasizes linking learning metrics to business KPIs, using dashboards and storytelling to communicate insights, and leveraging NLP and AI analytics to uncover trends in employee feedback. The theme highlights L&D’s evolution into a strategic, evidence-driven business partner.
Skills-Based Talent Development & Internal Mobility
A major focus is the shift toward skills-based talent strategy, with sessions centered on career pathing, internal talent marketplaces, and aligning development with organizational priorities. This theme underscores how skills—rather than job titles—are becoming the foundation for mobility, workforce agility, and future-ready career growth.
Human-Centered Leadership & Learning Culture
While technology is rapidly advancing, the program reinforces the importance of human skills like empathy, communication, psychological safety, and emotional intelligence. Multiple sessions examine how to strengthen leadership capabilities, build coaching cultures, and foster inclusive, continuous learning environments that support engagement and performance.
AI-Powered Learning Transformation
AI is at the center of this year’s program—reshaping everything from personalized learning paths and coaching to content creation, simulations, and skills forecasting. Sessions explore how AI can accelerate development, provide real-time insights, and create adaptive learning ecosystems while guiding leaders on how to pilot, scale, and secure executive buy-in for AI initiatives.
