TRAINING! 2025 Conference Delivers Cutting-Edge Learning and Unforgettable Networking in Orlando

Another fantastic TRAINING! Conference & Expo has wrapped up in Orlando, Florida, running from February 17–19, 2025. While attendees could only squeeze in a limited number of sessions, the conference once again proved why it stands out in the industry. From innovative learning experiences to exceptional networking opportunities, TRAINING! 2025 delivered beyond expectations.

What Makes TRAINING! 2025 Stand Out?

Unlike other conferences that primarily focus on presentations, TRAINING! continues to set itself apart with interactive experiences, expert-driven discussions, and hands-on skill-building. Here are some of the unique highlights that made this year’s event one to remember:

Virtual Engagement Lab – Bringing the Future to the Expo Floor

The Virtual Engagement Lab on the expo floor was a hub of activity, giving attendees the chance to sharpen their virtual training skills, interact with industry leaders, and witness cutting-edge engagement tools in action. A particularly exciting moment was when a keynote speaker—unable to travel—conducted her session remotely using the very technology being showcased. It was a real-time demonstration of how virtual and hybrid learning is evolving in today’s workplace.

“Ask Me Anything” Stations – Free Consulting at Your Fingertips

This year, the “Ask Me Anything” stations provided a rare opportunity to chat with top industry experts, ask pressing questions, and get on-the-spot solutions to workplace learning challenges. These no-cost, open forums gave attendees access to some of the most respected voices in the field, offering insights that might otherwise take months (or a pricey consulting fee) to acquire. And for Peanuts fans, no, it didn’t cost 5 cents!

Dine Around Mixer Event – The Ultimate Networking Dinner

Networking is always a core part of any conference, but the Dine Around Mixer Event took it to another level. Imagine sitting down for an intimate dinner with an industry expert or author, joined by six other professionals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. These small-group conversations led to deep discussions, professional connections, and new ideas for tackling workplace learning challenges. This mixer proved to be a highlight for many attendees—offering far more than the usual conference meet-and-greet.

Beyond the Conference: TrainingPros at TRAINING! 2025

Among the many industry professionals in attendance was TrainingPros Relationship Manager John Buschiazzo, who connected with learning leaders and practitioners throughout the event. Conferences like TRAINING! serve as a great opportunity for TrainingPros to engage with top learning professionals, stay on top of industry trends, and continue to support companies in finding the right learning and development (L&D) consultants to meet their needs

More Than Just Sessions: Pre-Conference Learning and Expo Perks

While the main conference offered an impressive lineup of speakers and discussions, the pre-conference events provided additional value:

  • Certificate Programs: Attendees had the chance to earn specialized training certificates, adding to their professional credentials.
  • Learning Leaders Summit: A must-attend for senior L&D professionals, offering in-depth discussions and exclusive networking opportunities.
  • Test Kitchen on the Expo Floor: This hands-on space allowed attendees to experiment with the latest learning technologies, from AI-driven training tools to immersive VR experiences.

With evening mixers happening every night, the networking never stopped, making sure that every attendee left with new ideas, new skills, and new professional connections.

Looking Ahead

If TRAINING! 2025 is any indication of where corporate learning is heading, the future is interactive, hands-on, and deeply connected. Whether it was the Virtual Engagement Lab, the Dine Around Mixer, or the Test Kitchen, this year’s event reinforced that learning and development isn’t just about sitting in a session—it’s about experiencing it firsthand.

For those who couldn’t attend this year, mark your calendars for TRAINING! 2026—this is one event you won’t want to miss!
