Shaking up the conference format The Mind Tools L&D Podcast
-
- Management
Learning and development conferences tend to follow a predictable format: an exhibition hall full of vendors, hour-long sessions from experts, and fringe events where people can socialise. The introduction of social distancing has disrupted that format, but might it also create an opportunity to try something different?
This week on The Good Practice Podcast, Dr. Will Thalheimer and Matthew Richter, president of The Thiagi Group, join Ross G and Owen to share details of the online-only 'L&D Conference'.
We discuss:
Some of the challenges associated with traditional conferences The format and line-up of The L&D Conference The benefits of this approach for speakers and attendees. Show notes
Details of The L&D Conference are online at: learningdevelopmentconference.com
During the conversation, we discussed both evidence-informed practice and learning styles. For more on these topics, see our episodes:
