John Buschiazzo not only attended but also took the stage as a presenter, delivering his session, “Failing Forward: Is Your Culture Holding You Back?” The session was one of the highlights of the conference, receiving top marks from attendees for its compelling exploration of how organizational culture can either foster or hinder growth. The engaging presentation drew a large crowd and sparked meaningful conversations about embracing failure as a path to innovation and success.

Ahead of the official conference, Leigh Anne Lankford attended a pre-conference, day-long workshop titled, “A Learning Leader’s Guide to AI.” The workshop featured several industry influencers who shared insights on the potential and perils of AI as it reshapes the workplace and the future of learning. “The session was eye-opening,” said Lankford. “It offered a balanced view of how AI can transform learning and development, as well as the challenges we need to navigate responsibly.”

The conference was headlined by two inspirational keynote speakers. Simon Bailey, a world-renowned expert on brilliance, delivered a compelling keynote titled “Leading with Brilliance“, emphasizing how leaders can unlock their own potential and that of their teams. Platon, a globally celebrated photographer, followed with his keynote, “Leading with Humanity“, offering a profound perspective on leadership grounded in empathy, authenticity, and the human experience.

In addition to the keynotes, the Learning 2024 agenda featured dozens of breakout sessions presented by participants from across the industry. Topics included AI, Data, Performance Development, Learning Strategy, and Adaptive Leadership, among others, providing attendees with practical insights and tools to address current and future challenges in learning and development.

Both Buschiazzo and Lankford enjoyed the full conference experience, which included attending sessions on emerging trends in learning and development, networking with industry peers, and participating in vibrant social events.

“We’re always looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve and connect with others in the field,” Lankford shared. “Learning 2024 was a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge, learn from others, and deepen our commitment to driving innovation in corporate learning.”
