Happy new year! Are you up for another year of learning? If so, get ready to travel, as your favourites have largely returned to the in-person format. And as a bonus, you’ll find plenty of online options, making conferences more accessible and affordable than ever.
Happy new year! Bring on the learning! Last year saw (mostly) a return to in-person events — with many retaining a virtual component and some opting to remain online-only. Here’s a preview of what to expect in conferences for 2023. Watch this space for updates throughout the year!
Read MoreHappy new year! And so long to a tumultuous 2021. By now we’re all pros at working from home — and so are most of the conference organizers we follow with this blog. Although organizers are bullish this year and events are largely in-person, many have an online version or at least a backup plan in case the world goes virtual again. There are tons of conferences on the 2022 conference slate!
Read MoreGoodbye to the strangest year ever! As much as 2020 shook everyone up, it also presented opportunities to think differently about how we work and how we learn. The sudden pivot to virtual wasn’t without glitches, but it was a good dress rehearsal for a slick virtually all-virtual 2021 conference slate. Training & Development conferences have never been more accessible. So double down on this year’s offerings — because we’re all in this together.

Do you feel like the year flew by? Are there any areas you want to focus on in 2020? For many L&D professionals, a conference is an opportunity to delve into a community of practice where you can see how other professionals are incorporating new innovations and tools into their work. So without further ado, here’s a roundup of upcoming conferences for 2020.
Read MoreIt might be hard to believe, but the new year is almost upon us. Are there any areas you want to concentrate on in 2019? For many L&D professionals, a conference provides the opportunity to do a deep dive into best practices, innovations and cutting-edge tools. Not only that—a conference throws you into the networking deep end, which isn’t a bad thing for those of us who work virtually and may feel a little isolated.
Read MoreIf you’ve had a chance to read some of our past blog posts, you’ll know that Stephanie and I believe that it’s as important to continually educate ourselves as it is to help our clients educate their employees. Reading articles, books, white papers, research articles, and blog posts, following industry tweets and attending webinars and online certification courses are great sources of educational material – and we continue to pursue these. But it’s also worth looking at larger events. They give us the opportunity to meet industry experts in person and learn first-hand about the latest research and topics that particularly interest us. It also gives us the opportunity to meet lots of other like-minded learning professionals.
We all have busy live and it takes time to find what’s out there and locate the conference that’s the right fit for our needs and interests. So with this in mind, I’ve compiled a list of links to a number of popular T&D conferences that are being offered in 2013. I hope they inspire you!
