Announcing the 2026 Advisory Committee

The Learning Guild Advisory Committee brings together a diverse group of accomplished learning practitioners representing a wide range of disciplines. Their varied perspectives ensure that DevLearn reflects the full complexity of today’s learning landscape.

Through ongoing dialogue, the Committee helps surface insights into current challenges, emerging opportunities, and the thoughtful use of modern technologies to enhance learning impact. This collaboration informs the design of an event that spans instructional design, learning technology, performance enablement, and more.

Grounded in real-world practitioner experience, the Committee helps shape timely, relevant session topics and meaningful networking opportunities. Their contributions play a critical role in creating a DevLearn experience that is practical, inclusive, and future-ready, and the Learning Guild is honored to collaborate with this exceptional group of learning practitioners.
