Future-Ready Learning: Preparing Your Workforce for 2030

LIVE DINNER
29 January 2026, London 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm GMT
In partnership
Learning Pool

Dinner Location: Silva

The workforce of 2030 will look totally different and L&D leaders feel the pressure. Organisations across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail are being asked to build future skills, modernise learning systems, and support ongoing change. But traditional learning models and generic content often fall short.

Many teams are now rethinking their entire learning ecosystem. They’re looking for content that engages, digital tools that people will use, and ways to personalise learning at scale. At the same time, L&D is being asked to make better use of data and AI and show clearer evidence of impact.

Join peers and Learning Pool thought leaders for dinner and discussion on how organisations can create more effective, engaging, and future-ready learning ecosystems that meet the needs of a modern workforce.
