The Top L&D Conferences of 2022
By: Rebecca Jones
During 2020 and into 2021 many of the L & D conferences went virtual, but for 2022 many are back in person.
You’ll certainly want to be sure to check the registration details when signing up to see if it is in fact virtual or in person. In some cases too, the conference may even conveniently offer both an in-person and virtual option. Don’t forget to register early in the year if you are planning to attend. Some conferences thankfully offer early registration at a discounted rate, and you don’t want to miss that deadline.

Variety and the number of breakout sessions offered is the biggest appeal of this conference. “This is a great conference to attend with a large group,” says Heather Burright of Skill Masters Market who recently attended DevLearn. With such a large variety of sessions, you can really divide and conquer. “Just divide up your group to attend multiple sessions and come back together afterwards. That way everyone can share what they learned from the session they attended,” she says. There is a large expo hall, with expos including language translation, e-learning development software and more.
