Here's why you should join this event

Get inspired by 9 fast-paced sessions on learning strategies from organisations like Rituals and Booking.com

Gain practical perspectives on performance, leadership, and the future of L&D

Start meaningful conversations with peers shaping next year’s people strategies

Learning & development is at a turning point. AI is reshaping skills faster than organisations can keep up. Engagement is harder to sustain. And L&D leaders are being asked to drive real business impact - not just deliver training.

That's why we're kicking off 2026 by hosting Offbeat Sparks - an in-person event that brings together L&D and HR leaders to rethink how learning drives performance in 2026.

Join us on January 23rd, 17:30-20:00, to get inspired, learn from experts and network with industry peers.
