NEW FOR 2026
Learning Leadership joins DevLearn
Two events. One connected learning experience.
Learning Leadership is a new, exclusive event for L&D team leaders, taking place November 2–3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas — immediately before DevLearn, November 4–6.
Every Learning Leadership session is discussion-focused, giving senior learning leaders the opportunity to evolve their thinking, evaluate strategies, and informally benchmark their work with peers.
Join learning leaders from organizations including Amazon, Cisco, Farmers Insurance, GE Healthcare, Humana, SAP, United Way Worldwide, World Bank, and more.
Attend both events with the new Dual Pass
Start with two days of focused leadership discussion at Learning Leadership, then continue into three days of learning technology, practical strategies, new ideas, and connections at DevLearn.
The new Dual Pass combines both events into one experience.
