The Great Knowledge Acceleration: Bridging Generations in the AI Era

Event Description

Talent development professionals stand at a critical inflection point, where preserving human expertise in learning and development is as crucial as embracing AI innovation.

With digital natives (Gen Z and Millennials) representing over two-thirds of the workforce in 2025 and experienced L&D professionals reaching retirement age daily, the transformation challenges facing talent development are unprecedented. Yet few organizations feel truly prepared to address this challenge -- creating both urgency and opportunity to revolutionize how we amplify learning excellence.

Join Future of Work expert Luke Goetting to explore how talent development leaders can harness the convergence of generational transition, human intelligence, and AI capabilities to become catalysts for extraordinary learning outcomes. Through practical case studies and immediately applicable frameworks focused on L&D, you'll discover:

•How leading organizations are turning potential knowledge loss into accelerated innovation for better learning experiences

•Ways to leverage both human expertise and AI to scale learning and development wisdom across teams while maintaining the personal touch that makes training impactful

•Proven techniques for fostering meaningful cross-generational collaboration between instructional designers, facilitators, and subject matter experts that increase retention and performance

•Strategies to capture critical institutional knowledge about training methodologies, learning paths, and successful program execution before it walks out the door

•Methods to empower early-career L&D professionals while honoring experienced perspectives on what makes learning truly transformative

This isn't just about traditional knowledge management -- it's about creating a dynamic ecosystem that propels talent development success in an era of unprecedented technological change. Whether you're an L&D executive looking to leave a lasting legacy, a mid-career professional building bridges between training teams, or an emerging talent development leader seeking to accelerate your impact, you'll gain actionable insights to enhance your leadership journey.
