Inspire City Series: London
Where learning never stops
Thursday, 15 October 2026, 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM BST
What to expect
London is the biggest stop on the City Series.
Three rounds of concurrent breakouts. A product keynote. Real customer voices. A panel discussion to close. And an evening reception that tends to run later than planned, for all the right reasons.
Come curious. Leave with more than you expected. You’ll get:
- Three rounds of concurrent breakout sessions across six tracks
- A product keynote covering the Docebo roadmap and the strategic bets we’re making on the future of enterprise learning
- A customer spotlight featuring the parts of the story that don’t usually make it into case studies
- A closing panel with L&D leaders, customers, and Docebo leadership
- A structured networking lunch to connect you with the right people in the room
- An evening drinks reception to close the day properly

The Living Operating System: Capability, Community and Intelligence at Octopus Energy
Speaker: Leanne Hamley (Global Head of Learning, Octopus Energy Group)
What does it take to build a learning culture that keeps pace with a changing organisation? In this session, Leanne Hamley shares how Octopus Energy approaches capability development through community, co-creation, and pull-based learning. She’ll explore the thinking behind Spark, the role of different forms of intelligence in the age of AI, and how organisations can create the conditions for people to learn and grow.
Learning Without Laptops: How IPL Schoeller Reaches 80% of a Global Workforce
Speaker: Chris Ball (Talent & Learning Director, IPL Group)
When 80% of your workforce has no company laptop or email address, a typical LMS rollout doesn’t work. IPL Schoeller’s Talent & Learning team share how they built a kiosk based approach for their 6,000 person manufacturing workforce across Europe and North America, using shared on site devices, a two to three click design philosophy, and custom built content to bridge language gaps a standard LMS couldn’t cover on its own.

Product Keynote
Speaker: Scott Peacock (SVP of Product, Docebo)
Building the Future of Readiness
Yesterday’s learning model won’t build tomorrow’s capability. In this keynote, Docebo SVP of Product Scott Peacock unpacks where learning and upskilling efforts are falling short, and lays out a new vision for how leaders across the enterprise can use technology to keep people ready for what’s next. He’ll outline where the Docebo platform is headed, and will share the innovations we’re building next to detect gaps, grow readiness, validate impact, and orchestrate it all with AI.

You decide the experience: planning a personalised learner journey on Docebo
Speaker: Venkat Subramanian (Director, Learning Platforms, Bain & Co)
How can learning fit naturally into the way people work? Venkat Subramanian shares how Bain built a personalised front end for Springboard using Docebo’s APIs, webhooks, and Building Blocks. He’ll explore the decisions behind Bain’s open catalogue, the role of identity and permissions, and how to personalise the learner journey without adding friction.
Before and After: Rebuilding Editor Onboarding at Springer Nature
Speaker: Laura Taylor (Head of Editor Engagement, Springer Nature)
When Springer Nature launched the Editorial Academy, the goal was to create a more consistent and accessible onboarding experience for editors worldwide. One year later, welcome training sits in a single platform, adoption has exceeded expectations, and the team is now measuring real impact on editor engagement and satisfaction. Laura Taylor walks through what changed, what surprised her, and what’s next.

Breakout sessions
Learning & Knowledge: Better Together
Speakers: Jay Kolbenson (Director, Learning, Docebo) +
Harald Overaa (Senior Account Executive, Enterprise, Docebo)
Learning and knowledge have lived in separate systems, run by separate teams, for years. The AI era is breaking that apart: knowledge is becoming about context and data graphs, while learning is being pushed to do more with less and reinvent how it delivers value. In this session, Jay Kolbenson and Harald Overaa make the case for bringing the two together, and show what enterprises stand to gain when they stop treating learning and knowledge as separate problems.
Docebo University: Build Your First Agent in Docebo
Speaker: Scott Peacock (SVP of Product, Docebo)
In this hands-on deep dive, Scott Peacock walks through the new Docebo Agents platform, starting with a series of pre-built agents and how they work. From there, he’ll guide attendees through building a custom agent directly in their own Docebo platform, one they can put to work in their daily job. You’ll leave with real hands-on experience and a working agent built for your own learning platform.
16:30
Capability in motion: What companies find when they stop organising around job titles
Speaker: Loïc Michel (Co-Founder & CEO, 365Talents)
What can your people actually do, and what changes once you can finally answer that?
Loïc Michel shares what organisations discover when they move from job titles to a living view of capability, drawing on companies that have made the shift, among them Infinite Campus, where 90% of employees built profiles and a single skills scan surfaced 27 internal candidates for director roles no review cycle had revealed. He’ll explore where skills work usually breaks, how 365Talents and Docebo together close the loop between knowing and doing, and what becomes possible when capability reaches the moment of decision.

Fireside chat
Learning to compete: how learning becomes a business driver
Speakers: Leanne Hamley (Global Head of Learning, Octopus Energy Group), Venkat Subramanian (Director, Learning Platforms, Bain & Co), Laura Taylor (Head of Editor Engagement, Springer Nature)
and Chris Ball (Talent & Learning Director, IPL Group)
Learning becomes a genuine competitive advantage when it connects people, skills and business outcomes, embeds itself in the flow of work, and helps teams apply what they learn where it matters most. In this panel, Jay Kolbenson brings together industry experts to explore their different journeys and how they are working to close the gap between learning and day-to-day work, touching on themes such as experimenting with AI and making assessments and simulations more personalised. Expect a peer-to-peer conversation about adoption, real-world challenges and the next steps required to turn learning into applied capability.
