Digital accessibility has long been treated as a post-production chore—a manual pass of alt-text, captions, and contrast fixes after the real work is done. Articulate's AI Assistant changes that by making accessibility a built-in part of the authoring workflow: auto-generating alt-text at scale, simplifying complex content for cognitive accessibility, and producing inclusive imagery on demand. You'll leave with a clear picture of which accessibility tasks AI can handle, which require human verification, and a practical workflow that lets you be fast and accessible—not one or the other.

Most instructional designers assume building interactive learning games requires a developer—it doesn't. This session walks through a practical vibe coding workflow where you focus on learning design and interaction structure while AI generates the underlying code, then embeds it directly into Rise. You'll leave with working game templates, reusable AI prompts, and a repeatable process for building scenario-driven interactions—branching decisions, feedback-driven choices, and timed challenges—that reinforce real workplace behaviors without requiring a single line of hand-written code.

When NFI shifted to AI-powered rapid publishing in Rise, the result was a 40% reduction in development time and $66,000 in annual savings—but speed didn't mean boring. This session goes behind the scenes of that transition, showing how NFI used Rise's AI capabilities to accelerate content ingestion and structure, then layered in custom code blocks to create high-energy interactions that learners actually notice. You'll leave with NFI's cost-savings formula for calculating and communicating L&D ROI, plus practical techniques for identifying where AI can eliminate friction in your own pipeline—without sacrificing creativity or instructional integrity.

The challenge with Articulate adoption rarely comes down to the tool itself—it's the absence of structured support, shared standards, and intentional capability development. This session shows how building a Community of Practice around Articulate can strengthen design capability across experience levels, align tool usage with sound instructional principles, and turn a production investment into a measurable driver of learning culture. You'll leave with a framework for standing up a governance and engagement model, integrating design fundamentals with tool proficiency, and measuring the organizational return on your Articulate investment.

The thinking, creativity, and problem-solving behind your Articulate projects rarely leaves the project team—but it doesn't have to stay there. This session shows you how to turn your everyday Rise and Storyline work into shareable insights using simple workflows for capturing screenshots, writing quick reflections, and highlighting process over proprietary content. You'll leave with practical ways to build visibility and career momentum from the work you're already doing—even when your schedule is full.

Training has always lived apart from where work actually happens—a separate tool, a separate login, a separate moment you have to step into rather than something woven through your day. For the first time, we're showing how that's changing. In this session, Articulate’s product and engineering teams walk through the thinking behind the platform's integration strategy and the new AI capabilities that sit on top of it. You'll hear why we built Articulate to connect directly into the tools your teams already use, how that is shaping the way training gets created, surfaced, and maintained without leaving your existing workflows, and what this signals about where the platform is headed next. This is a first look at decisions we haven't shown publicly before—the philosophy behind staying in the flow of work, and what it unlocks for builders and learners alike.

When Crissy Bradford started the digital learning team at Compass Group, it was two people. Today it's an 80-person learning and support operation—built not by asking for a seat at the table, but by doing work the business couldn't ignore. AI-powered simulations. Gamified certifications completed voluntarily. Sixty thousand associates trained. Walk away with a playbook for making L&D the team every department wants in the room.

What does it actually take to drive real AI adoption inside a company—not just access, but genuine usage? Taruna Rai, VP of IT at Articulate, anchors a panel of how IT leaders create their own training for new AI tools across the business. She also shares Articulate's own playbook: how the team used Articulate 360 AI to build and deploy internal AI training. This is the meta session—a case study in using the platform to solve the exact problem most organizations are wrestling with right now.

Most L&D teams do great work that too few people know about. Jay Naik, Director of Training Center of Excellence, changed that at NYU Langone Health by breaking silos and turning skeptical departments—finance, research, HR, and beyond—into repeat partners. You'll walk away with a concrete approach for finding your first champions, proving value through pilots, and scaling L&D's footprint across every corner of a complex org.

Meaningful gamification isn't about points, badges, or visual flair—it's about tracking the behaviors that matter and letting learners put theory into practice. This session walks through the SCORE framework, a practical method for designing gamified learning that ties directly to real performance outcomes—translating objectives into measurable behaviors, choosing game mechanics that reinforce job-relevant skills, and using tools like Storyline paired with Firebase to track decisions, error patterns, and progress over time. You'll leave with an actionable system for making gamification purposeful, measurable, and directly tied to real-world performance.
