Show Notes

To go or not to go? That is the question when it comes to industry events.

The conference landscape changed dramatically in 2020 as in-person events were replaced by online activities. Today, employees have hundreds of online options - webinars, events, podcasts, livestreams - to support of their development. Does this mean in-person conferences are a thing of the past, or are they still a meaningful part of professional development that’s worth the investment?

David Kelly, CEO of The Learning Guild, sits down with JD Dillon to discuss the realities of industry events in our increasingly hybrid workplace. David shares his perspective on the value of in-person conferences along with his vision for enabling professional development across the global L&D community. David also previews The Guild’s upcoming Learning 2022 (Orlando) and DevLearn (Las Vegas) conferences.

Plus, JD shares 10 expert tips for getting the most of our your conference experience.
