If your learning and development function disappeared tomorrow, would your business notice? Join QA and learning leaders from Wintrust, Horizon Media, and Pave America for a candid conversation about what makes L&D essential. From driving behavior change to making learning a daily habit, panelists will share practical experiences, challenge assumptions, and explore how learning teams can better support the business.

• Recognize barriers to making learning a daily habit and approaches to overcome them.
