At Training Industry, we know that learning leaders have different goals at different stages of their careers (and often within the same year). That’s why we offer two flagship events, each designed with a distinct purpose in mind. Whether you’re seeking broad exposure to the latest in learning and development (L&D) or ready to dive deep into strategic planning, our events meet you where you are — and take you where you want to go.

The Training Industry Conference & Expo (TICE) and the Strategy Summit complement each other to offer a complete professional development journey. TICE fuels your curiosity and expands your awareness of what’s happening across the L&D space. The Strategy Summit helps you focus that insight into a concrete, business-aligned plan. Together, they give you the inspiration and the tools to move from exploration to execution, helping you lead learning with greater clarity, confidence and impact.
