Stop counting completions. Start proving impact.
Learning and development (L&D) leaders are often asked the same question over and over again: How is learning moving the business? The answer won’t come from siloed learning management system (LMS) exports or a sea of dashboards no one opens. It comes from building a learning intelligence system, one that consolidates data, leverages artificial intelligence (AI), connects learning to business KPIs and moves you from descriptive reporting to predictive, decision-ready insights.
In this fast-paced, practical session, we’ll show you how to tame platform sprawl, kill data silos and establish an insight-driven ecosystem that your stakeholders trust. You’ll leave with the metrics that actually matter today, a roadmap to consolidate your data and the confidence to drive data fluency across your L&D org.
You’ll learn:
- Why data fluency is the new leadership currency in L&D and how to evolve from activity tracking to outcome prediction
- How platform sprawl, manual exports and mismatched taxonomies quietly erode insight, speed and credibility
- How to operationalize analytics that inform decisions, not just dashboards
- The metrics you should track to link learning to performance, productivity, time-to-competency and business outcomes
- Practical ways to connect LMS/learner experience platforms (LXP), human resources information systems (HRIS), customer relationship management (CRM) and performance data
- Real-world use cases to inspire you to get started

In L&D, program evaluation is often treated as the finish line. Did learners like it? Did they pass the test? Did it make an impact? Did it produce a healthy ROI?
These questions matter, but they represent only a small fraction of what measurement can reveal. Out of 100+ L&D measures, fewer than 10 focus on program evaluation. The rest help answer other questions: Are we aligning with strategy? Are we managing the L&D function efficiently and effectively? Are we building capability?
In this session, Measurement Demystified co-authors Peggy Parskey and Dave Vance will discuss where program evaluation fits within a broader measurement framework. You will expand your toolkit, capture what drives value, and use measurement as a lever for managing and improving learning at scale.
You’ll leave with:
- A broader, business-focused view of L&D measurement
- Practical strategies to track, manage, and improve L&D
- Clearer ways to use the full set of measures to ensure the L&D function delivers strong results

Let’s be real—getting a seat at the executive table isn’t always easy for L&D. The C-suite speaks in ROI, outcomes, and impact, while we’re often talking engagement, skills, and performance.
The truth is, it’s not about working harder—it’s about communicating differently. In this session, Angelina Sabatini, Manager of Training at Live Nation Entertainment, will share real-world strategies (and a few lessons learned the hard way!) for showing leaders how training directly connects to business results, and how to shift L&D from “nice to have” to “must have.”
Attendee Takeaways:
- Speak executive language to clearly show L&D’s business impact
- Connect training initiatives to measurable outcomes and ROI
- Gain confidence and build influence in advocating for L&D as a strategic, must-have business partner

Driven by AI, the external environment is poised to change substantially within five to ten years, impacting customers, competitors, and investors. But experts are divided on how this will unfold. The torrent of media reflects the division and variety of expert views. Leaders need to rally to prepare for this uncertain, potentially jarring future. "The Coming Shock" provides a clear structure in four likely scenarios every organization should be prepared for.
Each scenario presents different challenges. Organizations need to build a shared understanding that leads to the identification of risks, opportunities, and safe plays.
From this strategy, companies and organizations can take action to prepare and posture for success. This session provides insight into the education challenge.

Learning as an adult is hard. Indeed, it’s much harder than when we were kids and our brains had the plasticity of learning sponges. Today, our time at work is stretched too thin with a myriad of responsibilities and ever-changing priorities. Our attention is constantly sapped by a barrage of Slack messages, emails, texts, phone calls, and meetings. Our egos batted about like piñatas by near-constant feedback. So, it’s no wonder that when it comes time to take an elearning course at work, it’s natural that our defenses go up. You ask yourself, why should I take time from my crazy busy schedule to learn something marginally useful for my job, won’t fully engage me, will cause me to fall further behind on my long list of to-do’s, will make me feel like an idiot when I get questions wrong on the quiz, and which I’ll forget before the week is out?
Given these emotional and logistical brain barriers, our job of teaching adults is thus supremely challenging. What to do?
We need to change the psychological dynamic between employees and learning. We need to help adults want to learn by delivering content to them that emotionally engages them and is contextually relevant to their work. Thankfully, L&D professionals now have great tools at their disposal to generate meaningful content and deliver it to learners when they need it most.
During our session, we will discuss how to create emotionally engaging games for learners to wrestle with the content as well as to create a gamified, social learning community to motivate learning.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why traditional passive training fails to make learning stick
- How to engage adult learners across generations
- Measuring the impact of game-based learning and proving ROI
September 18, 2025
Everybody’s talking about "workflow learning," but few are actually doing it. The pressure is on: L&D leaders need to deliver learning that supports employees in the flow of work, not outside of it. Traditional training methods pull people away from their jobs while workflow learning supports them in the moment. It keeps them engaged, productive, and performing right where it matters most.
In this enlightening session, Chris King, the former executive director of the Five Moments of Need® Academy, will provide a practical, step-by-step approach for embedding learning directly into the daily workflow. Learn how to pinpoint the highest-impact opportunities, design support that fits seamlessly into the workflow, and shift from a “training mindset” to a performance mindset.
If your learners are drowning in training but starving for support at their moment of need, this webinar will show you how to train less and perform more.
Key Takeaways:
- Match the method to the moment. Choose the right approach for each of the Five Moments of Need®.
- Spot performance pressure points. Identify critical workflow moments where learning is needed most.
- Use Rapid Workflow Analysis (RWA). A practical tool to uncover high-risk tasks, pinpoint learning gaps, and deliver workflow support that actually changes performance.

Stop wasting development dollars. Are your sales leaders underperforming despite your investment in leadership development? The problem might not be your leaders. The actual culprit is the "leadership lie" embedded in generic training approaches. Sales leaders are wired differently, driven by unique motivations, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. Promoting top performers without a tailored development pathway often creates "super sellers" who can't effectively lead, coach, or build a team.
This webinar will reveal the specific components of a proven sales leadership operating system, showing you what "good" looks like when building leaders who make an immediate, measurable impact on revenue, recruiting, and retention.

AI is moving fast—and most organizations are focused on keeping up with tools and tech. But the real threat isn’t a lack of technology. It’s a lack of thinking. Specifically, the gap between what our teams need to think strategically and how we’re actually developing them.
In this provocative and practical session, learning strategist Mary Rapaport—creator of The Strategic Playground—makes the case that strategic thinking is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s the core capability L&D teams must build to help leaders navigate complexity, lead change, and unlock the full potential of their teams.
Through real-world examples, Mary will explore the hidden cost of the strategic thinking gap—missed opportunities, shallow problem-solving, over-reliance on tools—and how L&D can be the key to closing it. You’ll learn practical ways to design development that supports business leaders in growing strategic thinking inside their own teams, no matter the level. You’ll also gain a fresh lens for how to build this capability into your programs through immersive learning, real-world application, and tools that actually change how people think.
If your organization is overloaded with plans but underdeveloped in thinking, this session will show you how L&D can lead the shift.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the cost of the strategic thinking gap and how it shows up in business performance, missed opportunities, and limited leadership impact.
- Discover practical, actionable starting points to help business leaders begin developing stronger strategic thinking in their teams.
- Understand the value of strategic thinking as a core capability and how L&D can help close the gap by integrating it into leadership and team development efforts.
