The Learning Leaders Forum is a premier two-day residential retreat specifically designed for L&D leaders. Set against the backdrop of an evolving technological landscape, the 2026 forum centres on the theme: "The Human-AI Partnership: Skills for Success". This transformative experience aims to empower participants to lead their organisations in fostering a harmonious relationship between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.
The event is hosted by Donald Taylor and features high-impact keynote sessions from renowned experts Amy Brann and Erica Farmer. Together, they provide the strategic framework for L&D leaders to explore how AI can serve as a tool to elevate human potential rather than replace it.

- Uniquely Human Skills: Dedicated workshops focus on storytelling to drive influence and building trust, as well as unleashing creativity to innovate in ways machines cannot.
- Practical AI Integration: Interactive presentations dive into real-world examples of how AI agents are currently reshaping team dynamics, job design, and organisational culture.
