Technology and globalization continue to transform corporate education, not only altering the content, context and mechanisms of learning but also the experience of learning itself how people learn, when they learn, what they expect and want and why. Smart workforce development executives realize the need to reimagine learning if they hope to deliver the results required. At the Spring CLO Symposium18, we ll examine the forces driving corporate educators to reimagine the learning experience and the most effective ways to remain relevant in this rapidly changing environment.
For 2018, CLO Symposium is also focused on creating the most effective user experience possible. Collaborative, conversational and intentionally intimate, every minute is designed to facilitate breakthrough interaction and ideas. In response to feedback from many of the workforce development industry s most respected voices, registration is open exclusively to practitioners and a limited number of sponsors with clearly defined roles. The result is a relaxed environment where attendees can participate in the industry s most dynamic and in-demand learning experience as well as connect and share valuable knowledge freely.
By design, the CLO Symposium is where relationships are built that last a career. As a vital point of connection, collaboration and support for senior-level executives, it attracts chief learning officers, talent managers and business managers from a wide variety of industries and organizations around the world who are focused on learning as a catalyst for change.
Developed and driven by the Chief Learning Officer editorial staff, the agenda is perfectly aligned with both the pressing issues of the day and the imminent changes coming tomorrow, including the continuing evolution of the chief learning officer role. Features include content-rich and curated sessions, speakers unique to the marketplace and a deeper, more executive-focused professional development experience. Keynotes The latest thinking on leading strong and driving change from best-selling authors, innovators and thought leaders. Workshops Industry executives share real-world insights into how they deployed learning to solve business challenges in their organizations. Voice of the CLO Words of wisdom and practical advice from top industry veterans who understand the pressures of evolving leadership. Power Hour Talks Quick paced storytelling sessions presented by learning practitioners to showcase innovative learning initiatives in their organizations. Panel Discussions Lively debates deliver knowledgeable dialogue and unique perspectives on topics of keen interest to L&D leaders. Networking Receptions Plentiful opportunities to converse and collaborate facilitate making important connections that can last a career.
I gained great perspective about how learning challenges can be quite similar across a variety of businesses and was able to connect with other leaders in the space. Danielle O Hare, Talent Development LucasFilm
