The ATD International Conference & Exposition is a premier event for talent development professionals from around the world. Held annually, this conference features renowned speakers, expert-led workshops, and the latest trends and insights on talent development.
This year’s conference will be held in Denver, Colorado from May 22-25, 2023. With a theme of “Transforming Learning: People, Performance, and Possibilities,” the conference promises to deliver an exciting and informative agenda for attendees.
One of the key focuses of this year’s conference is the changing landscape of the workplace and the need for talent development professionals to adapt to new technologies and ways of working. With the rise of remote work and the increasing use of automation, talent development professionals need to keep pace with these changes to remain relevant and effective in their roles.
To address this theme, the conference will feature a variety of sessions and workshops aimed at helping attendees develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the new world of work. Topics will range from leveraging data and analytics to improve learning outcomes, to creating engaging and effective virtual learning experiences.
Another important topic at this year’s conference is diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. As organizations increasingly recognize the importance of creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace, talent development professionals are being called upon to help drive this change. The conference will feature sessions on how to develop effective DEI strategies, how to measure progress, and how to create a culture of inclusion within organizations.
The conference will also focus on the importance of leadership development, particularly in times of change and uncertainty. With the rapid pace of technological change and increasing global competition, leaders need to be able to adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances. The conference will feature sessions on how to develop leadership skills, how to build high-performing teams, and how to lead through times of disruption and change.
In addition to these themes, the conference will also feature a variety of other sessions and workshops on topics such as talent acquisition, learning technology, and performance management. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with their peers and learn from experts in the field, as well as explore the latest products and services from leading vendors in the talent development industry.
One of the highlights of this year’s conference is the keynote speaker lineup. The conference will feature several renowned speakers, including best-selling author Brené Brown, who will speak on the power of vulnerability and courage in leadership, and organizational psychologist Adam Grant, who will discuss the latest research on work motivation and how to create a more meaningful workplace.
Other keynote speakers include former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who will discuss the importance of public service and leadership in government, and digital anthropologist Brian Solis, who will explore the impact of technology on society and the workplace.
Overall, the ATD International Conference & Exposition promises to be an exciting and informative event for talent development professionals. With a focus on the latest trends and insights in talent development, as well as practical skills and knowledge, attendees will leave the conference better equipped to meet the challenges of the changing workplace and to drive their organizations forward.
