Cut through the "AI hype" with this practical session on the Talent implications of AI in 2026

If 2025 was the year of “AI literacy” and rapid AI tech rollouts, what will 2026 bring? Financial services firms continue to compete in announcing AI rollouts, use cases, and “efficiency savings”. Yet research shows most AI projects stuck in “pilot” phases – with sluggish engagement & take-up by employees.

This LIVE virtual event will focus exclusively on the opportunities and potential challenges in AI for L&D and Talent professionals in the next 12 months:

  • Hosted by Alpha Development’s Strategy & Learning (Product) teams
  • Panelists from the education & financial services industry by region – including our AI specialist partners altruistic.io
  • Pre-event survey and in-session Q&A allows you to contribute & ask questions

 

Registration is below – we encourage you to complete the (optional) pre-event survey, to support our research in this important area.

Testimonials

“Huge thankyou to the Alpha team for ensuring everything ran so smoothly. It was a really successful week. Your trainer was fantastic as always. The Apprentices all loved him and had glowing feedback on him and his teaching style (some specifically pointing out the examples he uses and the way he teaches is super digestible). From our perspective, he is super easy to work with and totally gets both the students and ‘our way’!“

“The trainer was exceptional and covered topics that I work with (derivatives, swaps, and other financial products) in a succinct but clear way for those who are not familiar with the world of trading.”

“Comparing it to previous sales courses, I found this to be the most practical and applicable with live examples of what to do and what to say other than just plain theory.”
Participant, Client Advisory ProgramMiddle East Wealth Management Firm
“I wanted to let you know I had the pleasure of following up with some of the Partners in Sales today and the feedback from them was consistently “This is the best training I’ve ever participated in”. This feedback was also shared by the Global Head of Sales. We will likely be looking to replicate your exact session in the US. Kudos to you for doing a fantastic job facilitating and hosting a memorable session.”

“Having witnessed many friends undertake various banking grad programs, it would be fair to conclude that Alpha Development provide the most comprehensive program on the street, delivered by some of the industry’s most qualified and astute professionals. As a colleague of mine stated, “The Alpha trainers have not forgotten what it feels like to learn”, and I believe this is what separates them from the other training solutions offered on the market.”
