Across talks, panel discussions, mini masterclasses and think tank roundtables, speakers  and delegates explore how AI can help L&D teams design, deliver and scale learning. A recurring theme was the need to pair these tools with human judgement: understanding  employees’ existing capabilities, recognising potential, and creating opportunities for people to grow.

Sessions spanned learning strategy and leadership, learning design and capability, and  learning delivery and experience. Delegates discussed practical approaches to using AI in  learning design, strengthening workforce capabilities, and connecting learning initiatives to  performance at work. 

The discussions at ALTX 2026 pointed to an enduring priority for organisations: as learning  technology advances, they must continue to understand their people and invest in their  development.
