Ahead of HPC’s sponsorship of the L&DI’s National Learning & Development Conference, the Sunday Times’ article explores the themes that will be at the heart of this key event on 2 December at Croke Park.
L&DI’s flagship annual conference will bring international thought leaders together at Croke Park on 2 December to explore the measurable impact of workplace learning.
The Learning & Development Institute (L&DI) will welcome learning and development professionals, HR leaders and business decision-makers to Croke Park for the National Learning & Development Conference 2026.
Under the theme “The Value of Learning: Shaping Leadership, Performance and Human Capability”, this year’s conference will explore how organisations can unlock human potential, strengthen leadership and demonstrate the measurable impact of learning on business performance.
Speakers
An exceptional lineup of international thought leaders and industry experts will share fresh perspectives, research and practical insights into the evolving world of work.
Among the keynote speakers is Dr Amy Cuddy, internationally renowned social psychologist and bestselling author of Presence, whose work explores confidence, leadership and performance under pressure.
Joining her is Egle Vinauskaite, a leading voice on artificial intelligence and the future of learning, alongside Robert O.
