Navigating the Future: Mastering the Currency of Skills

D2L’s upcoming Executive Summit marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our company. This exclusive event serves as a convergence point for thought leaders from corporate learning and education to dive deep into the transformational changes that are reshaping education and work. Our theme for this year, “Navigating the Future: Mastering the Currency of Skills” acknowledges the increasing shift to a skills focus across the lifecycle of learning.

In Secondary Schools

Educators are seeking opportunities to partner with employers to offer students access to project-based learning and experiential education experiences to deepen their professional skills at an earlier life stage.

In Postsecondary Education

Institutions are looking at ways to better define, deliver, assess, and document skills to improve the learner experience and adapt to the changing needs of the workforce.

In Corporate Learning

Human resources professionals and senior leadership are looking at new ways to recruit talent with skills-first hiring and comprehensive learning programs that can help upskill and reskill existing staff.

Join executive leaders for a full day of programming in Toronto this July.

When a tech company invites you to an executive summit, you typically expect a heavy sell. I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that that hasn’t been the case here. The discussions today have been truly beneficial.

– President, Community and Technical College System

The mix of speakers, the shaping of the AI discussions and the implications for upskilling the workforce and the responsibility for educators was energizing and thought provoking.

– Leading Industry Analyst

My first time but I thought the small format, the shared room for the day with colleagues, topic that were provocative, and time between sessions were helpful.

– President, Education Non-profit and Think Tank

I had no idea you do so much on thought leadership and events, and it’s all spot on. These are exactly the challenges we’re facing

– Senior Director, State University System
