ABOUT LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT ASIA 2025 – MALAYSIA

As Malaysia navigates the shifting tides of economic transformation, workforce development has become more critical than ever. Organisations are grappling with digital fluency gaps, slow technology adoption, and leadership readiness in the face of constant change. At the same time, learner engagement, platform limitations, and the need to show measurable outcomes are pushing L&D leaders to take centre stage in this revolution.

Human Resources Online’s flagship L&D conference, Learning & Development Asia, returns for its milestone 10th edition on 24-25 September 2025 in Malaysia. At this anniversary edition, we aim to tackle the root of Malaysia’s workforce paradoxes and unlock bold strategies for skilling, reskilling, and elevating talent for the future economy.

With interactive formats, in-depth case studies, and dynamic panels, this is your chance to rethink capability building, bridge the skills gap, and power the nation’s workforce towards a more competitive, inclusive, and innovation-driven future. Join the country’s most influential L&D leaders, CHROs, CLOs, and transformation champions for two days of compelling discussions, actionable takeaways, and regional insights tailored for the local context.

See you there!

BECOME OUR STRATEGIC PARTNER TODAY

Take a look at what our past sponsors loved about partnering with us!

I found the L&D Asia event to be valuable and relevant for my team’s need in promoting B2B learning solutions/executive education for London School of Business & Finance. We made several meaningful connections during the event, and we saw great results from the post-conference follow-up session we hosted. The Human Resources Online team was incredibly helpful and accommodating. It’s a well-organised event with the right audience, and I would certainly recommend my team to participate again next year.

Head, Executive Development, London School of Business and Finance LSBF

We kept partnering back (with the HRO team) not just because of the quality connections we made but the overall experience itself, with its well-crafted agenda and excellently managed event.

We always make sure that we are present at LDA, (as) this is where we foster great relationships with key players in the learning and development landscape of corporations and professionals in Singapore.
