New York, NY — The Learning Guild has unveiled the comprehensive agenda and keynote speaker for the highly anticipated DevLearn Conference & Expo 2025, set to take place from November 12–14 at the iconic MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The DevLearn Conference & Expo is tailored for professionals and leaders dedicated to harnessing technology to foster innovative and effective learning experiences. This event offers actionable strategies, practical tools, and an array of educational opportunities designed for decision-makers eager to explore new technologies, including AI, to enhance learning within their organizations.
Kicking off the conference will be a keynote presentation by Dr. Keith Keating, Chief Learning & Development Officer at BDO Canada. A prominent figure in the Learning and Development (L&D) field, Dr. Keating boasts over 25 years of experience driving the future of workplace learning.

In an era where creating value is paramount, Dr. Keating’s keynote promises a transformative roadmap for turning learning into a strategic asset that consistently seeks, creates, and amplifies value.
