L&D Global Sentiment 2026 webinar
Join Donald H Taylor and Kirstie Greany for a live webinar on 26 February 2026 at 4pm GMT to explore the latest insights from the 13th annual L&D Global Sentiment Survey and the State of Digital Learning Report 2026, uncovering trends, learner expectations, and actionable strategies to guide workplace learning this year.
The session brings together Donald H Taylor, founder and lead researcher of the L&D Global Sentiment Survey, and Kirstie Greany, Head of Learning Strategy at Learning Pool, to unpack findings from the 13th year of the survey, alongside insights from Learning Pool’s State of Digital Learning Report 2026.
What L&D leaders need to know now
With AI and emerging technologies now embedded in everyday learning practice, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal years yet for L&D. This webinar offers a timely opportunity to step back from experimentation and understand what’s actually working and where the pressure points remain.
Drawing on responses from more than 3,500 participants across 100 countries, the Global Sentiment Survey reveals what L&D professionals believe will matter most in the year ahead. These findings will be contrasted with real employee needs and expectations captured in the State of Digital Learning Report.
