SUMMARY:L&D Mythbusters: Training Assumptions We Need to Retire
DESCRIPTION:Some learning myths have been repeated so many times they’ve started to feel like facts. They are not.\nEvery field has its sacred cows. The assumptions that get passed down\, rarely questioned\, and then shape how we design\, deliver\, and defend our work. L&D is no exception. From beliefs about how adults learn\, to assumptions about what makes training effective\, to the unexamined logic behind why we build things the way we do\, some of what the field takes for granted deserves a hard look. \nThis session is about naming the assumptions\, questioning the evidence\, and having an honest conversation about what we should probably stop saying and doing. What learning myths need to die? \nWhat We Will Discuss \n\nCommon L&D beliefs that don’t hold up under scrutiny\nWhere these myths came from and why they’ve been so hard to shake\nThe practical impact of building training on faulty assumptions\nWhat the evidence actually says and what we should be doing instead\n\nCome Ready to Contribute \nWhat’s the one training assumption you’re tired of hearing? Bring your myth and your reasoning. Bonus points if it’s something you used to believe yourself. \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back!

SUMMARY:The Transfer Problem: Why Learning Stops at the Classroom Door
DESCRIPTION:People leave training feeling good. Then they go back to their desks and nothing changes.\nIt happens in classrooms\, in virtual sessions\, in eLearning modules that took months to build. Learners complete the program\, pass the assessment\, and return to doing things exactly the way they did before. The good news is that learning transfer isn’t a mystery It’s a design problem\, and design problems can be solved. \nThis session is about what actually works to make learning stick once people leave the room. That means looking past the training event itself and to the techniques\, partnerships\, and follow-through that turn “I learned something” into “I’m doing something differently.” \nWhat We Will Discuss \n\nPractical techniques for reinforcing learning after the session ends\nHow to turn managers into allies instead of afterthoughts in the reinforcement process\nWhat a realistic “after class” plan looks like and who owns it\nSmall\, sustainable habits that beat one-time follow-up emails\n\n  \nCome Ready to Contribute \nWhat’s actually worked for you to make learning stick? Bring your reinforcement tactics\, your manager-partnership wins\, and yes\, your failed attempts too. This community learns best from what’s been tried. \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person?

SUMMARY:AI Didn't Kill L&D\, but it Changed How We Work
DESCRIPTION:The robots didn’t take your job. But they did rearrange it.\nThe conversation about AI in L&D has moved past “is this real?” and into something more practical and more personal. The tools are here\, people are using them\, and the day-to-day work of designing\, developing\, and delivering learning looks different than it did two years ago. Some of that is genuinely useful. Some of it is creating new pressures and new questions about where the human judgment in this work actually lives. \nThis isn’t a session about what AI can do. It’s about what it’s actually changing in our workflows\, in our roles\, and in how we think about the value we bring to the table. \nWhat We Will Discuss \n\nHow AI is reshaping day-to-day L&D work right now\nWhere human judgment and expertise matter more than ever\nThe workflow changes that are sticking versus the ones that aren’t delivering\nWhat this shift means for how we talk about our value to stakeholders and leadership\n\nCome Ready to Contribute \nHow has AI actually changed the way you work\, not in theory\, but in practice? This community learns from each other and our shared experiences. \n  \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back!

SUMMARY:Confessions of an L&D Professional
DESCRIPTION:Forgive me\, I have a confession!\nI have pretended the LMS was down to buy myself another day on a deadline. I have copy-pasted a learning objective from a course I built three years ago and called it “updated content.” I have told someone a report wasn’t available because running it requires 35 clicks and a small prayer. And yes\, I secretly believe training ROI is about as real as Bigfoot. \nWe all have them. The compromises\, the professional white lies\, the things we do (or don’t do) that we’d never share on LinkedIn. This session is a safe space to speak your truth. No judgment\, no side-eye\, just L&D professionals being honest about the gap between what we preach and what we actually do. \nWhat We Will Discuss \n\nThe professional shortcuts we take when nobody is looking\nThe sacred L&D rules we secretly break and why\nWhat our confessions reveal about the real pressures of working in L&D\n\nCome Ready to Contribute \nCome with a confession. Big or small\, funny or cringeworthy\, this community has done something similar and is ready to absolve you. \n  \n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back!
