Here are some of the key takeaways Michael shared: - Learning from thought leaders and fellow attendees at the conference sessions. - Exploring the latest digital and AI solutions for learning experiences. - Connecting with hundreds of organisations at the EXPO and potentially finding new partners for collaboration.

    Hello from New Orleans! Just attended the second day of the 4-day ATD conference on all things talent development - https://lnkd.in/guYPKZZH Only 1 of 8 Australians at the event and only 1 of 2 Australian consulting firms, it’s been amazing to learn from so many people, both in the learning sessions and with the 400 organisations at the EXPO. Why attend? To (1) introduce new content and methodologies to our clients, (2) understand the latest digital/AI solutions to extend the finishing line of learning, and (3) find a few new partners to co-create world-class design. Cheers.
