APPLY FOR YOUR PLACE

A business’s success lies with its people, so harnessing and developing the talent within is crucial in maintaining and growing competitive advantage in business. This strikes at the key raison d’etre for the L&D Symposium: how do L&D leaders continue to navigate their work becoming an evermore key strategic business function?

Technological development, scarcity of talent and the economic climate has only heightened the importance of the development and end-to-end employee experience, L&D leaders need to move quickly to adapt to these changes to set their business and their people up for success.

Now in it’s fourth year, and it’s first as a standalone event, The L&D Symposium Returns on 18th-19th June 2024 in the beautiful Hunter Valley. The event will bring together 120 of the most influential leaders in Learning & Development from the most renowned organisations in Australia and New Zealand.

Adapt. Evolve. Stay Relevant.

Five Key Themes for the L&D Symposium in 2024:

• What Should the Future Value Prop of L&D Be? This should be a no brainer, right? Yet a question we’re asking ourselves again and again is ‘how do we demonstrate value to the business?’. Where there’s change, you’ll always need L&D… and there’s always change.
• AI & Technology. It’s a game changer, and it’s taking over everything. We’ll be exploring how AI goes beyond content creation and extends to automating tasks traditionally undertaken by L&D professionals.
• Leadership Perennial, isn’t it? But the need to develop leadership skills as part of L&D is still right at the top of priority lists, especially as organisations evolve and business structures change.
• Skills-Based Organisations Skills are at the heart of L&D and how is serves a business, but this year we’ll be looking beyond skills-based learning to how you build a skills-based organisation in a unified way.
• Future Capabilities. It won’t be the first time you’ve heard this one, and it won’t be the last. As the L&D space is transformed by technology, we’re going to be asking what it means to stay relevant to the business and what are the profiles for the modern learning person.

Attendees at the Symposium are hand-picked to ensure the audience represents the most influential minds in the industry. Set in the picturesque Hunter Valley, far from the distractions of the office, attendees are given the rare opportunity to participate in a collaborative learning and networking environment that fosters peer-to-peer learning.

Operating under Chatham House rules, the prestigious forum encourages participants to candidly discuss industry opportunities and challenges and shape the future of workplace learning. The conference program has been crafted by a highly influential advisory board of L&D leaders.
