ABOUT LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT ASIA 2026 – MALAYSIA

Rapid advances in technology, rising cyber risk, and shifting workforce expectations are reshaping how people work and learn. Instead of relying on traditional, instruction-led training, organisations can now use technology in a more humanised way to create vigilance, stronger communication, and better decision making on the job.

With businesses in Malaysia pushing towards next generation skill sets that improve performance, resilience and decision making on the go, the way learning takes place must evolve.

The 11^th Learning & Development Asia – Malaysia brings together leaders who are turning learning into a true business lever, sharing insights on how to cope with changing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.

Key discussion topics include moving from training to creating holistic capability ecosystems; leveraging digital, micro and mobile learning to drive application; and humanising technology so that it supports vigilance, communication and culture.

Join the conversation on how L&D can strengthen business outcomes and keep Malaysia’s workforce competitive.
