The AITD conference is a must-attend event for L&D professionals for a reason.

AITD’s CEO, Ben Campbell, emphasised the enhanced experience for this year’s conference. “Our community has provided important insights into the speakers they want to see, and we are delighted to welcome so many top practitioners to this year’s conference. We’ve expanded our networking opportunities, round table seating, included more interactive sessions, and invited an extraordinary lineup of speakers who will focus on a diverse range of topics.”
“AITD is committed to providing our attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to drive impactful L&D initiatives in their organisations,” Ben said.
