AI at ATD26
AI Education at ATD26
AI is no longer optional in talent development. It is already changing how learning is designed, delivered, personalized, and measured.
In a climate defined by rapid technological change, tighter budgets, and rising performance expectations, learning leaders are being asked to do more than adapt. They are being asked to lead. ATD26 is where they learn how.
ATD26 is designed to meet the needs of learning leaders exactly where they are, whether they are early adopters or still navigating hesitation and risk. The conference features over 35 educational sessions focused on AI, ranging from beginner to advanced applications.
While AI sessions are distributed across the full program, we have two tracks particularly relevant for AI-driven conversations:
Future Readiness
Focused on preparing organizations for emerging needs, this track helps leaders stay curious, informed, and proactive in the face of disruption.
Learning Technologies
Explores how platforms, systems, applications, and tools, including AI learning at scale, shape the future workforce.
