As L&D teams face increasing demands to move faster and deliver high-quality learning at scale, AI is becoming a powerful force multiplier—especially when it comes to working with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
Join Brick Maier, former Amazon program manager and current product and learning leader at HeatSpring, for a hands-on, tactical session exploring how AI can transform every step of your instructional design workflow.
Brick will walk through a real case study, showcasing how he used AI tools to build a 3-hour online course—from raw knowledge repository to a polished, multimedia learning experience. This session was previously delivered to the Department of Energy and a climate-tech startup, and now you’ll get insider access to the same strategies.
