Showcase of our HR and L&D events
L&D Symposium 2026
16-17 June 2026, Hunter Valley, NSW
The region’s most loved L&D event.
Immerse yourself in a unique forum developed by the leaders of the Learning and Development community.
Success for businesses in 2026 lies with; to state the patently obvious, it’s ability to seamless integrate it’s technology with it’s people. The ‘what’ is clear, the ‘how’ a little murkier… According to the World Economic Forum, half of today’s workforce needs to reskill or upskill to stay relevant. And that’s precisely why we’ve upskilled our agenda for the L&D Symposium for 2026: to help you do just that.
