In the learning and development landscape, organisations and leaders are trying new approaches to address the needs of a diverse and globally distributed workforce. But many are still battling challenges amidst the digital revolution, rising complexity, persistent uncertainty and a shorter shelf life for knowledge and skills. To take L&D from evolution to revolution, People Matters is back with its L&D conference in Singapore where you can gain insights about elevating the L&D function, designing learning solutions for the 21st century, deploying digital learning, measuring impact and ensuring good governance. 

This year, we are bringing newer speakers, agendas, themes, masterclasses and an interactive L&D expo so you can dare to disrupt. Here are some of the lesser known facts about People Matters L&D Singapore that is scheduled on April 13 at Fairmont. So, save the date!

Begin again: People Matters L&D conference is our first event to happen in Singapore this year, followed by Asia’s largest HR and Worktech conference, People Matters TechHR Singapore on August 24. With over 10 hours of dedicated learning, this is a must attend conference for L&D professionals seeking to hone their organisation’s efforts. 

Agenda built for disruptions: As we are at the cusp of a new era, L&D leaders must embrace a broader role with the organisation and formulate an ambitious vision for the function. To help you do so, our agenda is broadly divided into four essential aspects that helps you be ‘Built for Disruption’: Future readiness from business to skills transformation, developing a skills strategy connecting the parts to the whole, reimagining delivery and infrastructure for impact and People Matters L&D mastermind. So, prepare for the change!

Impressive roster of speakers: In Southeast Asia, L&D professionals have to face global as well as region-specific challenges including language barriers, cultural differences, different education systems, cost constraints, high turnover rates and rapidly changing business landscape. That is why we have selected some of the most renowned speakers in the region to help execute and scale up L&D functions. This year, the list includes Peck Kem Low, CHRO and Advisor (Workforce Development), Public Service Division; Jennifer Pei-Ling Tan, VP, Learning and Transformation, Group Human Resources, OCBC Bank; Jaclyn Lee, Chief Human Resources Officer, Singapore University of Technology & Design; Nick Shackleton-Jones, CEO, Shackleton Consulting; Donald Clark, CEO, Wildfire Learning; Ronald Tay, Head of Learning and  Development, APAC, Meta; Gregory Van, CEO, Endowus and many more. 

Advance ahead with masterclasses: If you are looking for in-depth, hands-on learning experiences from experts, we have specially curated masterclasses just for that. While Donald Clark will shed light on the one topic that is on everyone’s mind, ‘AI Is Changing Everything: How Can Learning Leaders Benefit?’, Nick Shackleton Jones will bring back into focus ‘Enhancing Performance With Human-Centered Design’. For a futuristic leader, these masterclasses can help them understand how to keep the human element intact amid the AI revolution. 

Networking opportunities: Conferences are a great avenue to meet like-minded people and discuss the trends and challenges each of us is facing. Sometimes, a short conversation with peers can open your eyes to new possibilities ahead. And this year, with over 400 attendees, 30 speakers and over 15 partners specialising in L&D space, we have created the perfect gathering for you to interact, brainstorm and hear all about the strategic role of L&D in attracting and retaining talent, developing people capabilities, creating a value-based culture, building an employer brand, and motivating and engaging employees. 

Interactive L&D expo: People Matters has always been at the forefront of becoming the answer for the HR community and this conference is no different. If you are looking for an innovative solution or service for your organisation, we have an expo area at the venue with booths of Cornerstone, CoachHub, LinkedIn, Enparadigm, Insights, Udemy, Stratbeans, SIM Academy and many more. 

To keep pace with constant technological advances, corporate learning must undergo revolutionary changes in the next decade and the People Matters L&D conference, Singapore might just equip you with the capability building that helps you lead. Join us at Fairmont, Singapore on April 13.
