L&D in 2026: opportunity, challenge and change
About The Event
What’s new in learning and development in 2026? And what does the Antipodean L&D profession think about it?
Donald H Taylor, Founder and lead researcher, the L&D Survey Series – in conversation with
Michelle Ockers (Learning Uncut) and Drew McGuire (Capability Group)
Join this webinar for a deep dive into the results of this year’s L&D Global Sentiment Survey. The survey asked more than 3,500 people from over 100 countries what excited and challenged them about workplace learning in 2026. During this interactive online session, Donald will discuss long term digital learning trends, what they mean for workplace L&D, and whether how AI – both the hype and reality – will affect the profession’s future.
We will also explore responses to the survey from Down Under. Are they different, and if so, how?
- AI fever has peaked – but it still changes everything
- The five key challenges for L&D
- The impact of geography on our thinking
- Why Australia and New Zealand are different
- If not content, what? New futures for L&D
Join us for this insight-packed session and gain a deeper understanding of where L&D is headed in 2026.
Hosted by your local global Sentiment Survey country partners – Learning Uncut, (Australia) and Capability Group (New Zealand)
