93% of executives are pointing to human issues – particularly around change management – as the key barrier to AI adoption. At Learning Tech 2026, Sponge is tackling the most important L&D issue of the day: AI transformation. Join our talk: AI adoption is stalling – Now what? James G., Learning Experience Consultant at Sponge, digs into why this is ‘L&D’s defining challenge’ - and reveals how we’re seeing it done well in the Fortune 500 Europe brands we work with. What you'll take away: > Awareness of where AI adoption stalls. > Strategies for grassroots learning through to leadership. > Frameworks you can use for AI enablement design. > Real examples to inform your own approach. 📍 Theatre 6 | 30th April | 10:15–10:45 If you're a L&D or enablement leader thinking "we should be further along by now"... this session is for you. Come to stand C05 across both days to see how we approach AI enablement in practice.

Join our webinar today: AI adoption is stalling. Now what? If your organisation has invested in AI but adoption isn't landing the way it should, this is the session to join. Josh Cardoz and James G. will be unpacking the human side of the AI adoption problem and offering a practical, people-first route forward. You'll leave with a clear picture of why this is L&D's moment, what poor AI enablement will cost you, and a practical framework for making genuine progress. Last spaces remaining.

Tomorrow, Josh Cardoz and James G. will be hosting a live session on why AI adoption keeps stalling and what a people-first approach looks like in practice. Organisations have spent big on AI infrastructure. But without bringing people along, giving them clarity, confidence, and room to experiment, that investment struggles to translate into real adoption. Josh and James will be getting into where that gap sits, why it matters, and what leaders can do about it. Register today: https://hubs.li/Q04b7vM10 AI adoption is stalling.

The talk you won’t want to miss at Learning Technologies Exhibition & Conference '26: 4 in 10 employees say they're "just surviving." Worn down by chronic uncertainty, digital saturation, and a decade's worth of destabilising events, a significant portion of the workforce has entered self-preservation mode: cynical, disconnected, numb. At Learning Technologies 2026, Sponge CCLO Josh Cardoz will be unpacking this in his session: 💡 Mobilising Generation Numb 💡 For anyone responsible for enabling people around key strategic initiatives, this is the context you're designing into. What you'll take away: > How to spot ‘numbness’ in your organisation > Why it’s a priority for L&D > The remedy: the Me/Us/It framework. > Real case studies from organisations designing for this reality 📍 Theatre 1 | 29th April | 15:30–16:00 L&D leaders who design for this reality - who meet people where they truly are - can have a disproportionately powerful impact. And while you're there, come to stand C05 to talk through how you can apply this insight to your advantage in your specific context. Our team can walk you through how we've helped others cut through the noise.

At Learning Technologies Exhibition & Conference 2026, we want to find out: what's slowing your momentum? At stand C05, the topic is innovation: what are we seeing is changing with people and how are the best learning teams in the world responding? We'll have demos you can try, built around the problems we help organisations solve every day: 🤖 AI enablement - developing AI fluency and responsibility at scale. 📈 Sales enablement - helping commercial teams perform when it matters. 🔄 Culture and behaviour change - reaching people who've stopped listening 🧭 L&D strategy alignment - connecting what you build to what the business needs. Come to stand C05 and bring the challenge that's keeping your people enablement efforts from moving at the pace of change and try tools like our AI Tamagotchi-style habit tracker and bespoke AI agent demos designed to build real fluency.

One week until our webinar on the human side of AI adoption. Most organisations aren't struggling with the technology itself. They're struggling to bring people with them; to move beyond surface-level use cases and build the kind of confidence, clarity, and capability that turns AI from a boardroom talking point into a genuine way of working. That's the gap Josh Cardoz and James G. will be exploring next week: what a credible, people-first approach to AI enablement looks like in practice.

Say hello at Learning Technologies 2026! Find us at stand C05, ExCeL London, 29th–30th April. This year, we're focused on the two challenges we're hearing most from L&D leaders: how to mobilise a workforce that's change fatigued, and how to deliver value from AI investments when adoption is stalling. Both are fundamentally people problems. And solving them means starting with the humans at the centre; not the technology, the platforms, or the content. And don't miss our speaker sessions: 🎤 Mobilising Generation Numb | Josh Cardoz, Sponge CCLO | Theatre 1 | 29th April | 15:30–16:00 🎤 AI adoption is stalling. Now what? | James G., Learning Experience Consultant | Theatre 6 | 30th April | 10:15–10:45 Come to C05 and bring your toughest people enablement challenge with you. Our team will be on hand to talk it through. #LT26 #LearningTechnologies #LnD
