Conference reflections: From AI hype to operational reality
Fresh off the floors at Learning Technologies UK and ATD, two themes were consistent in our conversations and centered around content. Which standard should I use now? And how do I better manage content at scale, as the volume is catching up to us quickly? This is a strategic moment as organizations are moving past the initial ‘what can AI do?’ and thinking ahead about the operational realities.

With AI-driven content tools multiplying, a massive "content admin tax" is looming. Managing exploding course catalogs requires a technology infrastructure strategy. More importantly, eLearning standards matter now more than ever. Should you stick with SCORM and cmi5 for structured compliance consistency, or leverage xAPI to feed dynamic data into your LLMs? Read more about our conference reflections and how to make the best choice for the job to be done and for your organization to scale tomorrow.
