IMPACT! CHOLearning 2026 | The Community's 32nd Annual Conference

Reaching the Summit Together in Learning, Culture, and Community

Human and organizational learning has taken root across industries and around the world. Now it’s time to rise together. IMPACT! CHOLearning 2026 celebrates our Community’s evolution: stronger collaboration, deeper learning, and organizational impact. By listening to our members, we’ve reimagined our conference to create more space for connection, application, and growth throughout a 4-day learning experience. Together, we will examine the critical intersections of learning from events and normal work, sparking growth across all dimensions of enterprise.

Keytopics Include:

Leadership Buy-in & Personal Influence: How do you gain traction with executives while empowering emerging leaders and middle managers? Explore ways to drive influence.

Compliance to Everyday Behavior: Building a culture of learning from everyday work is not checking another box. Participation is not enforcement; it is an invitation to contribute.

Theory Into Practice: Complex frameworks, leading-edge research, and decades-old ideas are distilled into tools and frameworks easy to implement into practice.

Digital Frontiers: Corporate culture, driven by human engagement, drives the development and use of technology to augment and advance the activities of everyday work.

ROI & The Business Case: The practices associated with organizational learning are investments and serve as a strategic advantage in today's market and economic landscape.

The greatest conference for humans by humans will reach new heights in 2026! Join us in shaping the future of learning organizations where every challenge is an opportunity to grow, and every insight fuels lasting success.

Monday: 2 4-hour workshop blocks
