What happens when Learning & Talent Development professionals come together?

They learn, connect, and make a difference.

At our recent ND ATD Spring Summit, professionals from across the Learning and Talent Development community came together to share ideas, gain new insights, and grow their skills. But the impact didn't stop there.

By the end of the event, attendees left with more than new knowledge—they left knowing they had contributed to something bigger. Through giving back to our local community, this group demonstrated the power of learning with purpose.

We're proud to be part of a community that believes professional growth and community impact go hand in hand. Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared your expertise, and helped make a positive difference.

📅 Join us: Deskless by Design: How to Architect Your Frontline Enablement Strategy

🕛 Wednesday, June 23 | 12 PM | Virtual

80% of the workforce is on the frontline—yet most enablement strategies aren’t built for how they actually work.

In this session, JD Dillon will challenge traditional training approaches and share how to design frontline enablement that fits into real workflows—without disrupting operations.
You’ll learn how to:
👉 Overcome frontline learning and performance challenges
👉 Integrate support into the flow of work
👉 Equip managers to better lead their teams

Featuring JD Dillon, author of The Frontline Enablement Playbook and trusted advisor to organizations like Disney, AMC, and Kaplan.

Build a smarter, more effective approach to frontline performance.

👉Stronger self-awareness of your influence

Featuring Oleg Lougheed, nationally recognized speaker and founder of Moments Worth Remembering.

Calling Experienced L&D Leaders: This One Is for You

You asked—and we listened.

ND ATD is launching the Learning Expertise Exchange (LEX), a new Community of Practice designed for seasoned L&D leaders navigating the realities of leading from a senior seat.

If you are shaping strategy, influencing the business, and delivering results amid shifting priorities and limited resources, this space is for you.

In LEX, you will:
^Talk through real leadership challenges
^Learn from peers across industries

LEX is conversation-driven, participant-led, and focused on practical application—a trusted space to share candidly and learn from leaders who get it.
