Bridging the Skills Gap with Immersive Tech
Jason Haddock
The skills gap is widening at an alarming rate despite L&D departments funnelling more and more money into programmes year after year. The problem is that we’re stuck in the proverbial hamster wheel of churning out the same content in the same medium but hoping for different results. The impact of failed L&D programmes goes beyond wasted company resources; it also results in low employee morale, diminished customer satisfaction, high staff churn, and missed strategic goals.
In this talk, Jason Haddock, CEO of Sozo Labs, takes us on a journey of practically leveraging immersive technology to boost staff knowledge retention rates, increase confidence and create long-term positive behaviour change at scale and with impact.

The Hypocrisy of L&D: Why Don’t We Practice What We Preach?
Linnéa Sjögren
In learning and development, we know what works. From brain science to effective content delivery, the principles of good learning design are well-established. So why are we still creating ineffective, uninspiring courses? This session will explore the disconnect between what we know and what we do. We'll explore why, despite having the tools and knowledge, L&D professionals often fall short of applying them—and what needs to change for us to finally practice what we preach. Thick skin and a curious mind is recommended.
16:00 - 16:30 GMT
