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.

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
^Strengthen your influence and impact

This is not a presentation!

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

This offering came directly from our ND ATD community, and we are excited to bring it to life with you.

Join us and help shape what this community becomes.
