L&D Next Live

London 2027

L&D Next is back in London, and this year it’s all about earning your seat at the strategy table.

On Thursday 11th March, from 1:30pm to 7:45pm, we’re bringing a curated group of senior L&D and HR leaders together at OXO2 on London’s South Bank. If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

Here’s what’s in store:

  • A keynote from David James, CLO at 360Learning and host of the #1 podcast in L&D, on how to say yes to stakeholders in a way that builds executive trust and makes L&D a strategic partner
  • Swiss Re on how they built knowledge-sharing Academies into every function, linked learning to skills, and are bringing in AI the risk-aware way
  • Acumetis on how a lean L&D team kept pace with a changing business, then used one playbook to bring five firms together after an acquisition
  • Two small-group sessions to put it into practice: build knowledge-sharing in your organisation, and decide what your team should start, stop and continue doing 
  • Drinks, food and networking overlooking the Thames, with the 360Learning team on hand to answer your questions

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn and connect with fellow L&D leaders in an intimate, senior-level setting. Check out the full lineup below and reserve your spot soon as space is limited!

How L&D Can Truly Earn It’s Seat at the Strategy Table

Every L&D leader knows the moment: a stakeholder asks you to “just deliver the training,” even when it may not solve the real problem. 360Learning CLO David James shares how to say yes in a way that gets to the root cause, builds executive trust and positions L&D as a strategic partner.

Learning That Means Business: How Swiss Re Built Knowledge-Sharing Academies Into Every Function

Use Case Session: Swiss Re

New learning model, new platform, skills agenda: Swiss Re took on all three at once, in months. They share how they built knowledge-sharing into every function, linked learning to skills and HR systems, and are bringing AI into learning the risk-aware way.

Over to You: Building Knowledge-Sharing in Your Organisation

Hands-on Workshop

Take the ideas from Swiss Re’s session and make them your own. In small, moderated groups, you’ll work through how to scope Academies, get subject-matter experts on board, and link learning to the skills your business needs. Leave with ideas to act on.

Keeping Pace: How a Lean L&D Team Scales with a Changing Business

Use Case Session: Acumetis

How does a lean L&D team keep pace when everything changes? Acumetis scaled onboarding and compliance through live sessions, cut the busywork and linked skills to delivery goals. Then an acquisition put it to the test. Hear how one playbook made five firms one.

The Lean L&D Test: What Would You Start, Stop, and Continue Doing?

Hands-on Workshop
