An intimate gathering for L&D professionals ready to move beyond surface-level AI experimentation. Not another demo day — a day to step back, compare notes, and make sense of what AI really means for your work.
About the Event
AI in Learning 2026 combines a morning of expert talks, panel discussion and provocation with an afternoon of Open Space — a participant-led methodology that puts the real conversations in the hands of the room. High ownership. Genuine outcomes.
With only 50 attendees, this is an intimate gathering by design. The environment is intentionally one where practitioners can slow down, take stock, and discuss the issues that matter — offering richer conversations and more meaningful connections.

AI in Learning 2026"Participants are there to think, not to be sold to. Brand association lands differently in these spaces — your name is part of a conversation they're already invested in, not an interruption to it."
Who will be in the room
A cross-sector mix of mid-to-senior professionals who influence or make decisions about learning tools, platforms and partnerships. Not passive conference-goers — practitioners actively navigating what AI means for their organisations.
Learning and OD leaders shaping strategy across their organisations
People development leads driving capability and performance
Training managers and L&D business partners
Freelance L&D consultants, facilitators and learning SMEs
Specialists in AI and learning technologies at the cutting edge
Decision-makers evaluating tools, platforms and partnerships right now
Three reasons to partner
Partnering here signals something about how you think about AI in learning — your interest in understanding the market, not just selling into it. In a crowded market, that positioning matters.
We're gathering fifty senior L&D and OD professionals in a room with no fixed agenda. As a partner, your team attends the open space sessions alongside participants — in the conversation, not watching from the sidelines. You'll hear unfiltered thinking about what's working and what's broken.
Learning leads, OD consultants, training managers from a cross-sector spectrum — all actively engaging with AI. These are people making or influencing decisions about tools, platforms and partnerships right now, in a room where genuine conversations happen.
The ticket subsidy model means charities and individuals can attend who otherwise couldn't, meaning your investment does something visible and specific — changing the quality of the conversation for everyone in the room.
Partnership Tiers
Three levels of partnership designed to reflect different levels of investment and visibility. All partners contribute to subsidised places for charities, not-for-profits and individuals.
Bespoke partnership packages are available on request. We're open to a conversation about what meaningful involvement looks like for your organisation.
