Beyond the Hype: How to Get Learning Tech & AI Right (& Why We Often Don't)

​🎙️In June, we are hosting Christopher Lind, one of the boldest voices in Learning and Technology!

He has hosted hundreds of talks with learning technology & platform providers, and led large-scale L&D initiatives across diverse organizations.

​🗨️ Some of his candid, unfiltered tech takes are:

​“Rush in ‘AI-first’ without shared mindsets, trust, and a clear why, and you’ll end up with shiny tools nobody uses.”

​“The most powerful learning doesn't happen during Zoom sessions but in the gaps between formal training.”

​“AI isn't a replacement for human judgment in learning design but a tool to scale what good designers already know.”

​ What the session will cover:

• ​Examples of large scale tech-based skilling and how to manage scale with depth

• ​When and why does AI integration go wrong, and how to make it work

• ​Promising tech/AI applications or tools L&D should prioritise in 2025

• ​How to leverage AI agents for learning and performance support

​➕ Watch Christopher speed-consult real learning tech challenges live.
