As accelerating change is observed in the world of work, it brings renewed attention to the importance of workplace learning and development as a human experience. L&D leaders can make a difference in the workplace by creating a meaningful and collaborative learning experience, and encouraging employees to be more active in learning, upskilling and sharing knowledge to meet the challenges arising from the changing world of work.

Learning and Development Leadership Summit returns to Melbourne in 2024, bringing together L&D and OD practitioners to share their most valuable lessons learnt and insights into shaping a learning culture, designing L&D strategies for an increasingly blended work environment, ways to adopt a learner-centred approach, and investing in upskilling and reskilling. We hope that the program can also celebrate and acknowledge the critical role collaboration, partnership, knowledge sharing, and human connections play in shaping a healthy learning ecosystem.
