A Space for Thoughtful 
Event Preview | ATD International Conference 2026
Los Angeles is about to host the most important gathering in learning and development this year.
The L&D world is mid-shift. Not the slow, gradual kind — the kind where you look up six months later and the rules have changed. ATD26 is where 10,000+ professionals come to make sense of that shift together, and this year the agenda reflects exactly what’s keeping learning leaders up at night.
35+ sessions dedicated entirely to AI. Keynotes from Zack Kass, who helped take OpenAI’s technology to market, and Liz Wiseman, whose research on how people perform under pressure is frankly overdue for a bigger audience. 300+ exhibitors on the floor. 350+ sessions to choose from.
We’re going in with specific questions about where workforce learning is actually heading, not where the brochures say it is. And we’ll bring the real takeaways back here.
