SIGS Mission

Our members are our experts. Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are a space where our members are empowered to leverage each other to advance their knowledge and skills to drive their professional growth.

ATD NYC has a number of SIGs that provide members the opportunity to explore hot topics of our profession in more depth together. All members will be added to a Slack community filled with conversation, best practices, and resources.

SIGs Vision + Strategic Goals

We aim to create inclusive spaces that foster meaningful connections among talent development professionals.

Our SIGs provide opportunities for networking, skill-building, and shared learning—empowering members to grow professionally through connection and collaboration.

Co-work and Connect

Co-work and Connect logo

Looking for a way to boost your productivity and meet other professionals in the talent development space? Co-work and Connect is a recurring program designed to help you stay focused, build community, and get work done—together.

Modern professionals often face two key challenges:

  • Lack of time and energy for deep, focused work.
  • Limited opportunities to connect with peers outside their team or organization.

This initiative tackles both challenges by providing a structured, energizing space for members to co-work, stay accountable, and build relationships—while also having fun.

When

Every other Friday from 1:00 to 2:30pm EST

Who You’ll Meet

Talent development professionals from NYC and beyond, looking to collaborate, share ideas, and support one another in real-time.

Each gathering centers on a timely theme in learning, talent, or organizational development—sparking discussions that help professionals broaden their perspective and refine their craft.
