DevLearn Conference and Expo announced its 2026 program lineup, expanding its offerings for corporate learning and development professionals. The conference introduced new educational tracks alongside hands-on training sessions designed to address emerging needs in the learning technology sector.
The 2026 program prioritizes networking opportunities for attendees, with organizers building additional connection points into the conference schedule. This reflects a broader industry shift toward blended learning experiences that combine formal presentations with informal professional networking.
DevLearn draws thousands of L&D practitioners, instructional designers, and edtech vendors annually. The conference traditionally focuses on workplace learning innovation, digital transformation in training departments, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and learning management systems.
The specific new tracks and session topics were not detailed in the announcement, though the expansion suggests DevLearn is responding to practitioner demand for specialized content areas. Conference organizers often introduce new tracks based on feedback from previous attendees and shifts in workplace learning priorities.
The hands-on session format provides practical training that attendees can apply directly to their organizations. These interactive components have become standard at major L&D conferences as professionals seek immediately applicable strategies rather than theory alone.
DevLearn's 2026 program continues the conference's role as a gathering point for the corporate training industry. The expanded format signals growth in both attendance and the breadth of topics the learning and development field now covers. Professionals working in corporate universities, training departments, and learning technology roles typically use conferences like DevLearn to benchmark their programs against peers, discover new tools, and build professional networks within the industry.
Registration details and the full 2026 program schedule are expected to be released as the conference date approaches.
