π Event Structure
π Submission Process
Strong proposals share one thing in common β they're directly relevant to the work of talent development professionals. Here's what our programming team considers.
Your topic should align with at least one area of the ATD Capability Model β connecting clearly to the work our members do every day.
Attendees should leave with tools, frameworks, or insights they can apply immediately in their professional roles.
We value speakers who draw on genuine professional experience β case studies, lessons learned, and honest reflections on what works and what doesn't.
Our 90-minute format works best with interactive, participatory sessions β not just slide-heavy lectures. We love facilitated discussions, activities, and Q&A.
Emerging trends, evolving practices, and forward-looking perspectives resonate most with our audience of L&D practitioners and leaders.
Proposals grounded in research, data, or proven methodology carry extra weight with our programming team and our members.
All speaker proposals should connect to at least one area of the ATD Talent Development Capability Model.
