The world of work is evolving quickly, and with it, the expectations placed on Learning & Development. Today’s learning teams are no longer seen as support functions, they are strategic partners responsible for helping organizations adapt, reskill, and respond with confidence to whatever comes next. At the 2026 Corporate Learning & Development Institute, senior L&D and talent leaders will come together to reflect on how learning can deepen its credibility, influence decisions, connect data to real business impact, and lead the reskilling and redeployment efforts that keep workforces future ready.

This year’s program, themed “Leveraging L&D to Drive Skills-Building, AI Adoption, and Strategic Influence for Transformation and Growth,” offers an agenda anchored in the capabilities and mindsets today’s organizations need most. Sessions will examine how to embed systemic career development, operationalize AI and emerging technologies, build future-ready skill frameworks, elevate L&D’s strategic advisory role, and equip leaders at every level to drive culture, performance, and change.

Across two and a half days, participants will engage in practical learning sessions, collaborative think tanks and roundtables, high-impact business meetings, and curated networking with peers from leading global organizations.

Join us at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, California to connect with fellow senior L&D leaders and help shape the next chapter of learning, leadership, and organizational transformation.
