In its earlier years, the Adobe Learning Summit felt very much like a traditional user conference. The focus was squarely on tools, especially Captivate. Sessions went deep into features, workflows, and practical techniques for building eLearning. For instructional designers and developers who work hands-on with authoring tools every day, this was incredibly valuable. The Summit was a place to sharpen skills and learn about new developments and upcoming initiatives.
Corporate eLearning has become one of the most powerful levers for workforce transformation. When designed with intention, corporate eLearning enables organizations to scale capability, support performance, and prepare talent for constant change. The challenge for L&D leaders today isn't whether eLearning works-it's knowing which eLearning practices deliver sustained impact. Often, employees complete training, but their behaviors don't change. Their skills gaps remain. Then, business leaders question ROI.
