CLO100 Exclusive ‘Fringe Event’ for Senior L&D Leaders at Learning Technologies
CLO100, the Professional Body dedicated to learning leadership, has announced a high-level "Fringe Event" to run alongside this year’s Learning Technologies conference at London ExCeL. Designed specifically for all Learning Leaders, the event offers a space for leaders looking to move beyond the exhibition floor and engage in deeper industry dialogue.
Taking place on Thursday, 30th April 2026, at the Novotel London ExCeL, nextdoor to the main conference, the event is a must attend event for the industry’s most senior figures.
The morning follows the regular "CLO100 Breakfast Club" format for networking, the primary focus is to provide a dedicated fringe space for peer-to-peer connection.
This fringe event is delivered in partnership with TalentLMS, whose expertise in learning transformation supports the morning’s mission of moving the industry conversation from platform-centricity to human-centric performance.
CLO100 CEO, Cathy Hoy, will deliver a key industry update. This update unveils new global standards for learning leadership and provides an exclusive look at new strategic initiatives being launched for the CLO community in the coming months.
“The Learning Technologies conference is an incredible showcase of innovation, but we recognise that senior leaders often need a separate space to process those trends at a strategic level,” said Cathy Hoy. “By hosting this fringe event, we are creating a place where leaders can step away from the noise. Allowing them to focus on genuine transformation and leadership excellence. I will also be sharing a significant industry update that we believe will shape how our profession leads in the future.”
Nick Gonios, VP of Learning Transformation and Company Ambassador at TalentLMS, will contribute to the session, offering a perspective on how organisations can bridge the gap between technology and tangible capability.
The event is limited to senior L&D professionals to ensure a high-quality environment for sharing insights.
Leaders attending the main conference at ExCeL are encouraged to start their second day at this fringe event to gain a fresh perspective before heading back to the event floor.
