The question

AI can generate a course in minutes. But can it help people build the skills and confidence they need when their world keeps changing?

About the morning

Two people who see this question from very different angles

Over coffee and breakfast, Donald Taylor and Fred Raynal will compare notes on where AI is really taking learning and development, and what it means for the people whose job is keeping skills relevant.

Expect fresh perspectives, honest questions and a few ideas you'll want to take back to your team. Then it's your turn. Try AI-native learning for yourself at our learning stations and swap ideas with a small group of senior L&D and learning leaders.
