What’s New?
This year, we’re expanding the Learning Solutions program so it’s the biggest and best yet.
Curated Paths Offer Specialized Sessions
Interested in taking a closer look at the difference facets of our industry? Consider exploring Curated Paths—collections of sessions on current crucial L&D topics—to guide your session choices. In 2018, these Curated Paths include International Perspectives, sessions from international speakers that can give you a worldwide look at our industry; Industry Insights, an opportunity for you to quickly find sessions from voices in specific fields such as healthcare, retail, and finance; and Learning & Performance Ecosystem, sessions exploring performance support strategies in addition to knowledge management, social, and other components.
Delve into Every Facet of Instructional Design
You asked, we listened. Due to community input asking for more instructional design content, we’re boosting our focus on this topic with more instructional design sessions than ever before. We also have a Curated Path on Intro to Instructional Design specifically for people new to the field.
Learning Stages at the Expo
To help you stay on top of the learning and development topics that impact your work the most, we’ve created three all-new learning stages: Design & Development, Tools & Platforms, and Management & Measurement.
Ecosystem Showcase
The Ecosystem Showcase is two hours of unique case studies in the design, development, and impact of learning and performance ecosystems. Come learn how others are looking holistically at organizational performance and leveraging new and traditional approaches and technologies in concert with their organizations' systems to bring learning to all corners of the enterprise.
All Learning Solutions attendees are welcome to attend any or all of the case studies. It’s a great way to start your Learning Solutions experience early. Don’t miss the Ecosystem Showcase on Monday, March 26, 4:00p – 6:00p!
