Subject matter experts often have the knowledge to teach but little experience creating learning content. In this session, Matt Lee, Senior Instructional Designer at Boston Children's Hospital, shares how his team helps surgeons, nurses, and clinical educators use AI-assisted workflows to create high-quality courses without formal instructional design training. Learn how Boston Children's introduced AI-enabled course development within a healthcare environment while maintaining governance and quality standards. You'll leave with real examples, a repeatable workflow, and practical prompts you can use right away.

Every organization has an onboarding gap. There's the training that gets someone through the door. Then there's the role-specific knowledge that actually makes them effective: the messaging, the tools, the team-specific know-how that gets built by whoever has time, or worse, stays stuck in someone's head. In this session, Articulate's own learning and development and product evangelism teams show how they closed that gap: what role-specific onboarding looked like before, what it looks like now, and—live on stage—how departments can build training that's ready when the work changes. You'll leave with a concrete model for extending your reach without expanding your team.

AI promises speed, but what does that actually look like inside a real workflow? Angie Haugland from The Toro Company breaks down real-world comparisons between traditional and AI-supported course development at an $8B manufacturer—showing exactly where teams are saving days per project, reducing SME lift, and accelerating time to launch. You'll leave with a concrete picture of what AI-assisted workflows actually look like in practice.

Some enablement teams are built to serve one audience. Articulate's team has to serve three: a global sales org, a customer success team, and a growing network of reseller partners operating across multiple languages and markets. Keeping all three current, confident, and ready to represent a fast-moving product is not a small problem.

In this session, Stephanie Overgaag, Director of Enablement at Articulate, shares the real story of how Articulate's enablement function went through a complete transformation, and what drove it. A tooling change. A strategy shift. All at once, while the product kept moving and the business kept growing.

You'll hear what the "before" looked like, what made it unsustainable, and the decisions that shaped what came next. The partner enablement piece is where the scale of that transformation becomes most visible: training delivered across languages, regions, and roles, all built and maintained on the same platform Articulate sells.

Walk away with a practical framework for rethinking how your own enablement function is structured, who it serves, and what it takes to build something that actually scales without losing quality along the way.

Every product launch has a training problem. The content takes weeks to build. By the time it's ready, the launch has already happened—and reps are in customer conversations filling gaps with whatever they remembered from the kickoff call.

Phil Dawsey, Director of Core Product Marketing at Articulate, knows that problem firsthand. In this session, he walks through what product launch enablement used to look like at Articulate—building in Rise, managing review cycles, shipping one course and hoping it stuck—and what it looks like now. With Articulate's newest tools, a product brief becomes a complete training package in minutes: a short-form course, a practice scenario, a reference guide, a presentation for live delivery. Not one format. A full bill of materials, each asset reinforcing the last, designed to meet learners where they are and make the learning stick through repetition and variety.

The shift isn't just speed. It's the difference between training that chases a launch and training that's ready for it. Walk away knowing exactly what the workflow looks like and what it would take to run it on your next launch.

L&D is evolving fast, and AI is finally creating space for the work that drew most of us to this field in the first place. Mikey Plannett from Berkadia shows you how to offload the low-value tasks so you can get back to creative, strategic work that actually matters. You'll leave with practical approaches to reclaim headspace and design experiences that energize you and your learners.

Training has always had a personalization problem. The same video plays for every learner. The same course moves at the same pace regardless of who's taking it. The same content gets deployed to a team of fifty people with fifty different starting points and fifty different ways of learning.

In this session, Matt Daubert, Senior Director of Engineering and Sil Vernon, Product Manager II at Articulate walk through the thinking and product decisions behind AI Avatars—why the team built it, what problems it was designed to solve, and what becomes possible when training stops feeling like a recording and starts feeling like a conversation.

This is as much a "why we built it" conversation as it is a live demo. See AI Avatars in action, understand the design decisions behind it, and leave with a clear picture of how to put it to work in your own programs.

The future of personalized learning isn't something your learners will notice. It's something they'll feel.

If your Storyline projects are starting to feel messy or unpredictable, the issue is often how logic is structured. This hands-on workshop shows you how to use variables and conditions in a way that keeps your courses organized, reliable, and easier to build.

The Rise code block makes it possible to go beyond standard interactions—but making it work in real courses takes intention. This workshop shows you how to create AI-generated interactions and use them in Rise in a way that’s reliable, manageable, and worth the effort.
