At Learning 2023, we recognize how important it is to have strong learning leadership. That’s why we not only place value on today’s leaders but also look to build the next generation of learning leaders in our field via our Thirty Under 30 program.

Through this program we recognize and provide special scholarship for 30 learning professionals under the age of 30, with the goal of supporting the visibility, voice, and development for the future generation of learning leaders.
