Local Hub Sydney: L&D Unplugged
We’re thrilled to invite you to our very first L&D Show & Tell—an interactive session that celebrates the creativity, curiosity, and courage within our learning community. Three of our brilliant members will step into the spotlight to boldly share a project, idea, or experiment they’ve been working on:
✨ Irina Burgess will take us behind the scenes of a Mentoring Toolkit she designed to build confidence and capability across a large public health organisation.
✨ Craig Hadden will showcase an innovative eLearning experience that blends AI-generated voices, enhanced accessibility features, and some clever Storyline magic.
✨ Shaheen will introduce her Inclusive Learning Framework—a powerful, practical tool designed to help teams assess and embed inclusivity throughout the learning design process.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, discover what others in the community are creating, and get inspired.
Get ready for an interactive evening of learning, sharing, and connection!
