SIG Event: The ATD Learning Lab
A safe space where talent professionals can practice and take risks. A place to try out new and innovative tools and techniques for helping people learn and grow. Some of these experiments may be a hit. Some may completely bomb. But that’s okay. We can learn just as much from the failures as from the successes. This is a no-judgement zone for learning and innovation.
Registration is now open for members.
Non-member registration will open on July 7th.
What to Expect
Every Learning Lab will feature 2-3 individuals from among those who register who will lead/facilitate a stand-alone hands-on “experiment” followed by feedback from the audience of learners, which will consist of the rest of the group. Learning Labs are preceded and followed by optional networking events where attendees can debrief and network further.
Learning Lab criteria
- Interactive and hands-on, involving participants.
- Something you have not tried before (approach, new way of looking at the same thing, challenge yourself and stretch outside of your comfort zone!).
- Adds value for you and the others attending.
- Be a hands-on experiment, not a sales pitch.
What is in it for those who try their ideas out?
- A safe space to try out new techniques, models, and strategies for learning and developing others
- A testing ground that can simulate a client environment
- Real-time feedback from a community of peers
