Are Saying About Us
There was quality content aplenty for everyone. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the different aspects of learning and talent development and network with others who are in this field. The EXPO was insane and amazing. I got a lot of great information on what's out there for technology, resources, etc., and I got to swing in a hammock and listen to a guided meditation.
Quality Content Aplenty For Everyone!
The variety and high quality of sessions is excellent. The keynote speakers are great. I've learned so much from the sessions. One of the best things about this conference is the networking. L&D professionals are the best group of people to hang with. They care about people and learning, and everyone I met inspired me. Thank you!

You Do A Great Job!
The keynote speakers were fantastic and really helped hype up the crowd, creating excitement for the day, and were extremely inspiring.

The Keynote Speakers Were Fantastic!
Great job! There were so many exceptional sessions in addition to the General sessions with the keynote speakers. I can not put into words the amount of knowledge I gained by attending this event. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and opportunity!

As a first-timer, it was a wonderful experience. It was a bit overwhelming for sure, but the orientation helped me understand how the event worked, and the learning paths set me up for the rest of the conference. Overall, a very positive experience!
