It is not that often that an event exceeds expectations, and LearnUpon Connect '25 did just that.
I've been in the L&D sphere for 10+ years now and have been to several conferences, large and small. This was my first as an LMS admin and my first with LearnUpon, and it was by far the most informative and enjoyable, both on a personal and professional level. Already looking forward to LearnUpon Connect 2026.
I left LearnUpon Connect '25 with more confidence in my role within my company and motivated to get back to work and apply the incredible advice I received during the event.
LearnUpon Connect was an amazing opportunity to meet other L&D leaders and share our experiences. I walked away inspired and with all sorts of ideas and ways to improve our LMS.
Connect '25 exceeded my expectations. The sessions were very informative, the staff were welcoming and inclusive! I enjoyed all the networking opportunities and I left feeling inspired, heard and well-connected.
LearnUpon Connect was a fantastic experience! I gained valuable insights, connected with industry peers, and left feeling inspired with practical takeaways I can apply right away.
