Hosted by Southwest Airlines

Tuesday, March 10, 2026 | 5:00 – 7:00 PM



For years, the Southwest Learning Summit (SWLS) has been thoughtfully designed to deliver meaningful learning and real connection for talent development professionals across our community.

In 2026, ATD Dallas is deepening our People First commitment — and that means inviting you into the design process.

We are building this year’s summit with the community, not just for the community.

Join us for a two-hour, in-person co-creation experience where your voice will directly shape the topics, formats, and speakers featured at SWLS 2026. Through guided conversation and interactive design activities, you’ll collaborate with fellow L&D leaders to imagine the kind of experience you truly want to attend.
