Peer Practitioner Forum

Most leadership development starts at the manager level—but what about the ICs who aspire to get there? In this session, we’ll explore how L&D teams are identifying and developing future leaders earlier, helping individual contributors build the capabilities they need to progress. Come share how you’re tackling readiness, visibility, and career acceleration for emerging talent.

L&D is increasingly global—but building a cohesive strategy across regions is no small feat. How are you partnering with regional teams to localize learning, align on goals, and balance consistency with flexibility? This conversation will unpack real-world approaches for co-creating impactful learning programs that scale.

Dashboards can be a powerful tool to showcase L&D’s impact—but only if they’re aligned to the right metrics and tell a clear story. In this session, we’ll compare how teams are building and using dashboards to inform decisions, communicate value, and drive accountability across the business.

What does the future of L&D look like—and are you ready for it? From shifting skill needs and AI integration to evolving learner expectations, we’ll explore how teams are assessing their current programs and building for what’s next. Come compare notes on the signals you’re watching and the investments you’re prioritizing.

As L&D teams evolve, so do the ways we resource and prioritize. In this session, we’ll explore the five Bs—Build, Borrow, Buy, Bot, and Bounce—as a framework for making smarter, more strategic choices. From in-house development to vendor partnerships, AI-powered efficiencies to sunsetting outdated programs, we’ll dig into how learning teams are evaluating where to invest, automate, collaborate—or let go.

From improving productivity and efficiency to enhancing personalization, AI is already reshaping how teams work and learning happens. But with so many tools and use cases, where should you start—or scale? Join this session to explore how L&D teams are thoughtfully integrating AI, balancing innovation with governance, and experimenting in ways that boost both impact and efficiency.

From LMS and LXP to AI tools and integrations, no two L&D tech stacks look the same. So how are teams defining their digital learning strategy and making intentional decisions about what to add (or subtract)? We’ll explore how peers are evaluating tools, sequencing rollouts, and designing tech ecosystems that work for learners and admins alike.

Data can show what L&D is doing—but stories show why it matters. In this conversation, we’ll explore how L&D teams are using storytelling to bring their impact to life—whether it’s influencing stakeholders, securing resources, or celebrating learner growth.

As demand grows, so does the need for smart, scalable governance. How are today’s L&D teams managing intake, prioritization, and maintaining quality across a growing portfolio? This session will explore how your peers are designing systems that boost capacity, avoid duplication, and ensure every learning experience delivers impact.

Even the best learning programs fall flat if no one knows about them. In this session, we’ll explore how L&D teams are applying marketing principles—like audience segmentation, branding, messaging, and multi-channel promotion—to drive awareness, engagement, and repeat learners. Come compare tactics for making your learning strategy as visible and valued as your business strategy.

Great leadership development doesn’t stop at one level. How are you building programs that evolve with your leaders—from their first direct report to executive leadership? We’ll dig into how teams are sequencing development by level, personalizing the journey, and preparing future-ready leaders across the pipeline.

L&D can’t be a siloed function—it has to be a strategic partner. But aligning learning to enable business strategy takes more than intent. Join us to share how you’re embedding L&D into business planning, surfacing learning needs from the ground up, and demonstrating value in a language the business understands.
