e-learnmedia CAFÉ 2025

Digital Learning Conference

15th of October 2025, Lindner Hotel Bratislava



Online attendance of the conference is available.



Today, in corporate training, it is no longer enough to simply persist in taking orders, generating training and reporting on training completed. If L&D is to be meaningful, we should focus on a more strategic view of learning, engage in corporate decision-making and measure the real impact of learning.


At the conference you will see inspiration, case studies and practical technologies. Come and join the innovators, experts and L&D leaders who are pushing the boundaries of learning and corporate development.



This year, our conference celebrates a special anniversary.
We will be delighted to welcome you as we come together to celebrate
15 years
years of mutual inspiration, friendship and shared success.

09:20 | Keynote: 21st Century L&D: opportunity, risk and difficult choices

Donald H Taylor, lead researcher, L&D Global Sentiment Survey, Chair, Learning Technologies Conference, London

Life and work are changing. In a few years, L&D will look very different to how it does today. In this keynote, Donald Taylor draws on research, case studies and a lifetime in learning and technology to explore the new learning landscape. How do changes in technology, society and the economy affect what we do? Is AI really the game changer that everyone talks about? And is the L&D profession ready for what is coming next? To make the most of the opportunities of the future, we will have to change what we do. As well as doing some things for the first time, there is much we will have to stop doing. It won’t be easy, but it will necessary for L&D to thrive in the future.

  • The big forces driving change in L&D
  • The power and promise of AI – and the dangers
  • What new skills will L&D professionals need?

Tomáš Langer, CEO, Firemní vzdělávání

Jaké jsou klíčové trendy ve firemním vzdělávání v Česku a na Slovensku a čím se liší od světového pohledu? V příspěvku představím zajímavé výsledky dvou nedávných šetření mapujících L&D praxi v našich podmínkách a porovnám je s globálními trendy. Společně se podíváme na to, jak se naše regionální specifika promítají do strategií rozvoje zaměstnanců, jaké priority a překážky řeší L&D týmy v Česku a na Slovensku a kde se naopak otevírá prostor pro inspiraci ze zahraničí.

11:10 | Unlocking LMS Potential: Growth Stages, AI, and Real-World Lessons

Tim Newham, Head of Global Solutions, Totara Learning Solutions

Tim’s session will explore how organisations grow in their use of learning management systems (LMS). Drawing on Totara’s experience, he’ll outline common stages – from meeting compliance needs to delivering integrated, talent-focused learning. As priorities shift, successful organisations adjust their approach. The session will also highlight how AI is already changing LMS delivery – shaping learning design, personalisation, and automation. With 20+ years of experience, Tim will share practical lessons to help you get more from your LMS.

11:40 | Developing a management pipeline: a practical and internally-run approach

Maxim Strashun, Learning and Development Leader - Global Solutions & Services Group, Lenovo

During crises, cost cuts and hiring freezes, training and development often suffers first. How can a management pipeline be developed effectively using only limited resources (internal and external)? Which tools, steps and approaches worked, and which failed? Maxim will share practical approaches and tips from running management development programs in Lenovo, both locally in the EMEA region and globally, across geographies.
