Chicago was where ASTD convened their first meeting 65 years ago. ASTD will re-energize their original Chicago roots in May 2010 when they bring their International Conference & Expo (ICE) to Chicago for the first time in 30 years. With Chicago once again on the national radar screen, what a great opportunity for Chicagoland Learning Leaders to extend a friendly Chicago invitation to their learning and talent colleagues from across the U.S. to attend the 8th Annual Chicagoland Learning Leaders Conference on October 30, 2009.
Then let’s continue the collaboration at a special event on Saturday night, May 15, 2010, the day prior to the ASTD ICE, with panoramic views of Chicago nighttime skyline, lakefront and Navy Pier fireworks. If you would like to help us plan a day or evening peer-networking event, please feel free to contact Dirk.Tussing@learningexecutive.com.
Chicagoland Learning Leaders have reported significant business benefit from our purposeful and focused collaboration opportunities, whether they’ve been in-person at a conference, a breakfast or virtually-based. No doubt the Chicagoland learning and talent community’s use of collaboration as a time and cost effective method to solve common business issues is a benchmark in how it has advanced the Chicagoland learning and talent development profession and their businesses. Now more than ever, supporting our national industry body as well as acting local, offers us an untapped collaboration benefit.
We have confirmed the date for year's conference will be October 30, 2009 (click here to preview our one-page conference brochure).
