Event 2: HR Leadership Network – 2026 L&D Leadership Summit
Date: 26 & 27 August 2026
Location: Waterview at Bicentennial Park, Sydney, NSW
Overview:
Learning Together Matters! Harnessing the power of collective intelligence to shape change
As the business landscape evolves, L&D becomes far more than skill‑building—it is a strategic enabler that drives people’s growth, strengthens capability, and creates sustainable advantage. At its core, it is a human journey of shared learning and cross‑generational collaboration that empowers people to innovate, adapt, and deliver meaningful impact.
The 2026 L&D Leadership Summit (Sydney) highlights the most human dimension of modern work: the power of collective intelligence. It explores how learning together accelerates change, strengthens cultures of shared growth, and opens new possibilities. For L&D leaders, this means amplifying collective learning, creating safe collaborative learning spaces, and supporting people to lead confidently and responsibly in an AI‑enabled world
