In a recent LinkedIn post, Ben Eubanks announced an innovative approach to sharing insights from the upcoming DevLearn Conference & Expo, blending online and in-person elements for a unique learning experience. Eubanks, who is with Lighthouse Research & Advisory, detailed plans for a free, learning-focused livestream designed to amplify human capabilities in the age of artificial intelligence.
“Next week our team is going to be doing something we’ve never done before. We’re hosting a learning-focused livestream that will be split online and onsite, covering the ground at DevLearn Conference & Expo… and serving our friends online/remotely with content all designed to help us emphasize and grow the capabilities of humans at work in the age of AI.”
Hybrid Event Format Explained
Eubanks elaborated on the dual nature of the event, which aims to capture the essence of the conference for both physical attendees and remote participants. The livestream will feature cohosts George Rogers and Christopher Lind, who will provide commentary on sessions throughout the day. This hybrid model, as Eubanks highlights, offers a way to access high-quality content without the logistical challenges of travel.
“You’ll get the best of both worlds. Amazing programming and sessions with high-quality speakers but no need to travel and get stuck in the vortex of madness that is the air traffic control system right now,” Eubanks wrote, referencing the potential travel disruptions.
Key Discussions on AI, Human Skills, and Learning Value
The livestream program is set to feature a series of engaging discussions with industry leaders. Eubanks himself plans to conduct short video interviews and “man on the street” segments on the DevLearn floor, with prizes for participation. He also detailed specific sessions, including a discussion with Phillip Miller of ETU focusing on simulations and practice as methods for building essential human skills.
Furthermore, Eubanks highlighted an upcoming conversation with Chelsea Loua from Go1 regarding their latest research on AI’s impact on learning. “The stats coming from this will be gold,” Eubanks previewed, hinting at a significant finding related to organizational leadership’s role in worker AI adoption. He also mentioned a segment with Sean S. of WeLearn Learning Services to address the evolving landscape of learning and the challenges in measuring its value.
Research Previews and Future Trends
The event will also offer a glimpse into future trends. Eubanks noted that he and Roberta G. will conclude the livestream with key insights derived from new research on current learner preferences and expectations. This segment is positioned as a preview of what is anticipated for 2026.
“This is a preview of what’s coming in 2026–be warned.”
The post also touched upon the opening keynote by Al Dea and Adaluz Julia Veloz (Julie Veloz), which Eubanks described with enthusiasm. He further expressed excitement about connecting with numerous teams and companies present at the conference, listing DigitalChalk, D2L, Administrate, Absorb Software, and many others.
Eubanks concluded by encouraging sign-ups for the free livestream event via a provided link, emphasizing the value proposition of accessing expert insights and discussions on critical topics like AI and human development in the workplace.
