We Killed Learning. Now Let’s Bring It Back to Life.

September 18, 2025
Oceanside C Ballroom
Breakout Session
Despite our best intentions, much of corporate learning has become boring, bureaucratic, and broken. Most training is disconnected from real work— designed for compliance, not curiosity. But learning isn’t dead, it’s just buried under outdated methods and overworked professionals.

In this provocative and practical session, Anna Gullstrand, Chief People & Culture Officer at Mentimeter, will challenge how we think about L&D. A former CEO and SaaS Leader of the Year in Sweden, Anna draws on deep experience building a fast-growing, learning-centered culture across a 400-person global team. She’ll share how we can rewire learning to be brain-friendly, leader-led, and embedded in the work, not bolted on as an afterthought.

You’ll walk away with clear ideas to bring your learning mission to life and make your L&D strategy a true business driver.
