Bi-weekly Co-work and Connect (June 2025 Sessions)

Introducing… ATD NYC Co-work and Connect! A program designed to help TD professionals get together, crush some work, and meet.

Why Co-work and Connect?

In today's world of work, TD professionals often face two key challenges:

• Lack of time and energy for deep, focused work.

• Limited opportunities to connect with professionals outside their teams and organizations.

This program is designed to tackle both, providing an ongoing structured setting for attendees to get things done together before the work week is out—then celebrate with a little socialization.

When is it?

Every other Friday in June from 1:00 to 2:30 pm EST (and future months), beginning June 13th

Who will you meet?

Talent development professionals from NYC and beyond, looking to work together, support each other's work, and connect with others.

• You join the meeting, introduce yourself to everyone in chat, and are quickly placed into a breakout group with 2-4 others.
• You briefly introduce yourself to your group mates (e.g., name, role, org, interests) and set your intention for the co-working session (e.g., finish a project proposal, write a LinkedIn post, research a topic).

• You work on what you intended to do, surrounded by other focused colleagues.
• You can choose to leave your cameras on for accountability or turn them off for focus time.

• You reconvene with your groupmates to discuss how things went (e.g., progress made, key learnings or takeaways, challenges encountered, next steps).
• People may offer feedback or advice based on their knowledge and experiences if you request.

• You end by getting to know one another a bit more and bonding over shared interests.
• You might also arrange a time schedule for follow-up 1:1s to connect or discuss your work in more detail.
• You and your group return to the main room to mingle for a few more minutes with others and then depart.
