Have you ever experienced meeting over 10,000 professional peers from all over the world in one place during four days? I feel privileged that I had the opportunity to join ATD 2017 in Atlanta last week (May 21-24).
Hot topics at ATD were micro learning, all things ‘brain science’, adaptivity and personalised learning. All things related to ‘impact’ seem to be popular every year.
The four learning notes in his edition are all related to the ATD conference. You’ll find that one note is from yours truly: the presentation of one of my ATD sessions on ‘How to create a learning & performance ecosystem’.
It was my fourth visit to ATD and every year the event provides an amazing experience. If you ever have the opportunity to attend, go. Next year, early May is the next opportunity.
Hope to see you at the next ATD in San Diego!
