For and by L&D professionals!
Welcome to the GLDC Platform!
We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you’re an L&D veteran, a career shifter, a podcast host, or just curious about what’s possible in this space, you belong.
The GLDC (Global Learning & Development Community) is a global, non-sales community for learning professionals. We host weekly networking sessions, Project Club for instructional designers, seasonal programs for educators transitioning into L&D, and member-led events that spark joy and connection in a non-salesy, low-pressure environment.
Our three community rules:
No selling
Help each other out
Have fun
Want to get involved? We’re hoping to reboot some beloved programs, including book club, our mentoring program, recipe share, and more. If you’d like to help shape what’s next, or have other ideas you'd like to try, check out our volunteer form and let’s create something great.
To get started, introduce yourself in the welcome channel:
