Enterprise Ireland and Learnovate are excited to announce the 2026 EdTech Masterclass Series—a two-part programme designed to help organisations navigate rapid technological change and transform AI insights into innovation-ready action. Across two connected sessions, participants will explore how technology, AI, and market shifts are reshaping learning and talent, leaving with practical priorities and a roadmap for growth.

Learnovate’s award-winning Global Learning Summit and Ireland’s premier global learning conference. Bringing together educators, learning professionals, innovators, industry leaders, researchers, and EdTech experts to explore the future of learning.

Learnovate will lead and support the RAIL community throughout 2026, with Jonathan Dempsey confirmed as Chair for the year. This community will provide a platform to explore emerging trends, share insights, and collaborate on responsible AI practices in learning.

Member Get Togethers are friendly and informal sessions that give members the opportunity to connect and hear updates from across the Learnovate community. Our first Member Get Together in 2026 will take place in person at Trinity Innovation Hub, Trinity East Campus.
