What Makes This Unique
- ★Where the edtech and learning-tech market meets its buyers and investors — 7,000+ delegates, 800+ speakers, 65 countries
- ★Past speakers include Barack Obama, Sam Altman, Andrew Ng and Sal Khan, a signal of the level of AI and policy conversation it attracts
- ★Workforce learning is now a core track (The Force), which makes it relevant to corporate L&D, not just schools and universities
- ★Honest caveat from 2026 recaps: plenty of agentic-AI talk was still slideware — useful for scanning the market, less so for proven deployments
