Adobe Learning Summit returned from a three-year hiatus in stellar fashion in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the past editions of the summit had focussed on the various Adobe products, the spotlight this year was on adapting to an increasingly digital world.

In previous years, our sessions were designed to derive the most out of the different product capabilities. This year, our objective was to help attendees become thought leaders capable of creating and developing innovative e-learning strategies. We wanted to empower them to build solutions in order to face the challenges of a post-pandemic world.

Aiding this mission were two dedicated tracks – Creators’ Labs and Design Thinking & Strategy.

Creators take the spotlight

Spread across three days, the summit held the attendees in rapt attention as it engaged instructional designers, e-learning content developers, and trainers in hands-on content creation workshops. The Creators’ Labs sessions covered a host of highly relevant topics including:

• Mastering the art and science of visual design, video production, and voice-overs.
• Organizing work better with needs assessment, instructional design documentation, storyboarding, and more.
• Learning how to create stunning eLearning content and design effective assessments.
• Creating game-based learning, virtual reality, and interactive video courses for better engagement and knowledge retention.

Attendees also received an Instructional Design certificate from Adobe along with access to the curriculum of Adobe Certified Professional: Adobe Captivate.

Think Design. Think Learning.

Leaders in L&D, Sales & Marketing, and Customer Experience, came together and engaged the audience through masterclasses, strategy sessions, workshops, and more. The sessions explored:

• Popular innovation & design-thinking processes which can improve customer experience.
• Future of work: Trends, challenges and how to tackle them.
• Best practices to strategize, design, and implement successful learning programs.
• Hands-on case study sessions to solve real business problems using learning and technology.

During the workshops, attendees interacted with leading analysts from Forrester and IDC, as well as evangelists and product leaders from Adobe.

Top Sessions. Top Names.

The summit was graced with the presence of leading organizations and top brands, and received overwhelmingly positive response from across the board.
