About the Forum

GP Strategies’ client forum is an invitation-only event, exclusive to our valued customers. Taking place over 2 days, this private forum is designed for our clients to share ideas, energize thought, and gain new insights with other learning leaders. It is not a sales or promotional event; it is for you to gain critical insights to respond to today’s disruptions.

Bridging the Skills Gap in a Human+AI World

22-23 October 2024

As part of the event, we will discover new ways of working, take a fresh look at AI disruption, and explore ways to bridge the enterprise skills gap organizations are facing.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into business operations, its impact on enterprise skilling strategies is undeniable. From generating skill taxonomies to personalizing learning experiences, AI offers transformative potential for learning organizations. Our approach must shift to effectively incorporate AI into skilling strategies and we are excited to collaborate with our valued customers to discuss the evolving role of learning practitioners in this landscape.

Attendee Testimonials

“The agenda was well thought out and the logistics, activities, and dinner were all very well done and appreciated. Loved the content and examples provided during the forum.”

“The event was wonderful. The speakers were all amazing and the content was very relevant. I also really liked the size of the group as it was big enough to get a lot of perspectives, but small enough to really be able to connect with people. The attention to detail in the planning was also amazing. This was a top-notch forum from start to finish!”
