This roundtable is a strategy-focused conversation on video-driven learning, and how learning teams can scale engaging training content without the traditional production lift. Featuring Synthesia (AI video platform) and Thought Industries, the discussion highlights how AI-generated video is reshaping workplace education, improving speed-to-publish, and making it easier to iterate and update content over time.
You’ll also see how the native Thought Industries + Synthesia integration reduces friction in common video workflows by letting teams publish Synthesia videos directly inside Thought Industries using a simple video ID, no SCORM exports, custom embeds, or workarounds required. The session also touches on global enablement, localization, and how modern teams balance engagement with efficiency when building learning experiences.
