ABOUT LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT ASIA 2026 – SINGAPORE

Job structures, talent expectations, and technologies are changing faster than traditional training can keep up. Knowledge is becoming easier to access, but the real advantage now lies in applying human judgement, adaptability and skills to accelerate innovation and productivity.

With the focus shifting from passive programmes to advanced capability building, the way learning takes place must transform.

The 12^th Learning & Development Asia – Singapore, taking place on 16-17 September 2026, brings together leaders who are reinventing their learning and skills frameworks.

Key discussion topics include designing learning that is contextual and sticky, moving beyond the download of facts to application-based learning, and working hand-in-hand with AI and technology to drive higher quality and greater impact at work.

Join the conversation on how L&D can empower the workforce of today for a more competitive tomorrow.
