A biennial event organised by IAL, ALX plays a pivotal role in inspiring critical discussions on CET issues and disseminating the latest CET research, findings and developments. Thought leaders, academics and researchers, industry experts, and practitioners share their exciting insights on adult learning at each symposium.

Moving forward, ALX has set sight on becoming a regional and international platform, advancing Singapore's position as a hotspot to propagate the best in CET design and practice.
