Keynote with Gabby Logan MBE
This year’s exhibition keynote speaker is Gabby Logan MBE, one of the UK’s leading broadcasters and 2024 Broadcast Sport Awards presenter of the year. She will join Helen Marshall, CLO at Thrive Learning, for an engaging fireside chat.
Taking place on Wednesday 8 October at 14:15 on the Main Stage, this session brings together Gabby’s wealth of broadcasting experience – from international gymnastics to covering multiple Olympics and World Cups – with Helen’s expertise in organisational learning.
Recognised with an MBE in 2020 for her services to sports broadcast and promoting women in sport, Gabby brings a unique perspective on performance, resilience, and continuous learning under pressure.
What else is on the agenda?
The World of Learning offers you the opportunity to connect with leading L&D suppliers and engage with over 70+ free seminars, sessions, and interactive zones.
How often do you get the chance to step back from daily demands and truly focus on your craft? This event creates space for that essential reflection and renewal.
Seminar topics include:
- Advanced AI integration strategies for personalised learning pathways.
- Neuroscience-based approaches to learning that sticks and feedback that lands.
- Delivering results that the business actually cares about.
- Inclusive leadership and coaching-powered leadership cultures.
Key highlights from the 2025 programme
The Exhibition features multiple interactive zones designed to address your specific learning challenges. The Mental Wellbeing Zone explores how mental health intersects with workplace learning – a critical consideration in today’s environment.

Learning Design Live sessions offer practical insights for those crafting learning experiences. Step in the Life Skills Lounge to discover new approaches before implementing them in your organisation.
The Conference experience
Running alongside the Exhibition, the World of Learning Conference features a packed programme of presentations, case studies, roundtables, and panel discussions. Leading organisations will share their real-world experiences, offering insights you can’t find on your LinkedIn feed. Don’t miss Conference keynote Thimon De Jong, Founder of Whetston, exploring how people respond to change, the impact of emerging technologies, and how to build resilient, human-centric learning cultures.
Think about the L&D challenges keeping you awake at night. Chances are, someone at this Conference has navigated similar territory and emerged with practical solutions.
