What's in it for You as an Attendee
When professionals from learning and development, organization design, and higher education come together, something special happens: curiosity spreads, frameworks blur, and ideas move faster.
This event isn’t just another networking night — it’s a social experiment in cross-pollination:
-
You might leave with a new partner for a research project, or a guest speaker for your program.
-
You may gain a fresh lens on employee engagement from someone who’s been studying motivation in the classroom.
-
Or you could meet an OD practitioner who reframes your next leadership training through the lens of systems design and human psychology.
Gatherings like this are where magic tends to sneak in — those delightful moments when you bump into someone from a completely different world and realize you speak the same language after all. Researchers might call it “weak tie strength,” but we like to think of it as the happy accidents that spark great ideas.
