Straight From the Room

“The sessions were well-paced, with short, focused keynotes and intimate boardrooms that allowed for meaningful, repeated connections. The people I met here are truly inspiring—leaders who care deeply about L&D, organizational growth, and employee development. The conversations were lively, future-focused, and often challenged my thinking, which is exactly the kind of engagement you want.”

Michele Lau Torres, Chief Learning Officer, City of Austin

“The people here have been amazing—open to new ideas, willing to share best practices, and bringing high energy from start to finish. If you’re on the fence about attending, my advice is simple: do it. This isn’t your typical L&D conference. It’s a chance to stretch, learn from other industries, and invest in yourself as a professional while expanding your network and sphere of influence.”

Nick Romano, Associate Director of Commercial Oncology Training, Sanof

“It’s a wonderful event where I can network with colleagues and have intentional time to meet vendors and learn how their solutions can add value to my organization. The content is varied in all the right ways- from panel discussions with experts to deep-dive workshops with solution providers and collaborative sessions with peers. It’s a safe, engaging space to share what’s working, explore challenges, and learn from others.”

Kathleen King, Chief Learning and Coaching Officer at Omnicom Health Group

“The variety of platforms—boardrooms, jumping-around tables, keynotes—works really well. Attending sessions with like-minded folks who share the same questions and goals lets you hear different best practices that you can potentially adopt in your workplace. The private consultation spaces were also incredibly valuable. Even when I might not partner with a vendor immediately, I now have their information for future opportunities, and I discovered solutions I hadn’t even considered before.”

Jorene Letofsky, AVP Global People Plan, Barclays
