Virtual Experience

ATD25 Virtual will bring the in-person event to you!

It’s an interactive learning and networking experience designed to connect and inspire. New this year, we’ll be streaming three concurrent session rooms directly to your home/office.

Whether you’re joining from Washington, DC, or tuning in virtually, you’ll have access to dynamic content, meaningful connections, and exciting opportunities—all available starting in May!

ATD25 virtual experience features over 85+ sessions (a mix of live online only programming, sessions streamed from Washington, DC, and on-demand videos available post conference) designed to engage, inspire, and expand your professional development. Access to post-conference recordings will be available through August 25, 2025.

We are excited to announce that we’ll be using new virtual platform for ATD25. The virtual platform and mobile app are now the same platform! You will be able to access live-streams through the mobile app directly!

Who Can Access ATD25 Virtual?

Full Conference (Washington, DC & Virtual Only) Registrants – Virtual access is included.*
*Daily registrants can add virtual access for an additional fee. Expo only pass holders cannot access the virtual programming.

Virtual Programming

Keynote speakers and a selection of featured sessions will be livestreamed from Washington, DC. We will have three rooms streamed directly to our virtual audience!

In addition to the livestreamed sessions, ATD25 Virtual will deliver several sessions exclusively in the virtual platform via Zoom.

Beyond programming, we will host general and topic-area-focused networking opportunities so you can connect, chat, and collaborate on whatever matters most to you – or make a new connection!

Don’t wait—explore the virtual program, set up your account, and start planning your ATD25 experience today!

Virtual Marketplace

Our industry is dynamic and constantly changing to meet the needs of society as it moves forward.

Just like with an in-person EXPO, the virtual marketplace provides the opportunity to browse through and engage with different booths and vendors. Our exhibitor directory allows you to connect directly with exhibitors, making the experience even more valuable. Keep up with the most current state of the industry, and when opportunities arise for new solutions or problem-solving, everything is categorized and easy to find.

You don’t have to wait to connect with ATD25 exhibitors! Create your account and connect with the exhibitors you are interested in.
