Check out highlights from our last Think Tank conference in January 2020:
#TDThinkTank
This is not your typical conference.
Here's how it's different:
- Smaller number of delegates so you have time to create meaningful connections
- Tons of interactive workshops - so you get insights/best practice from peers (as well as speakers)
- Speakers are handpicked by me (so they’re 100% relevant and engaging)
- No Expo Hall - so you can focus on learning (rather than being ‘sold’ to)

Agenda
This was the most powerful learning event I’ve ever attended. The connections made, powerful content, and fun interactive agenda made it great. I walked away with far greater knowledge and exposure to talent development. The interaction made this a truly different experience. The breakouts were high quality and the simulations were powerful and fun. Truly exceptional experience!!
- Pete Leckemby, Senior Manager L&OD
"I LOVED IT. I'm inspired to be a better leader, facilitator, communicator, coach, teammate, influencer and employee. This is the first conference I have been to where I came back and typed up all my notes for reference and scheduled time to meet with my manager about ideas for the organization. I'm so happy I attended!
- Erin Williams, Senior Learning Business Partner
The Talent Development Think Tank was amazing! The keynote presentations and breakout sessions were highly engaging and interactive, and loaded with actionable information. This was the best conference I've attended. Ever.

TDTT was a unique conference. I met people from so many different industries who all share a passion for learning and development, training, employee engagement, talent acquisition, etc. I am so grateful I decided to attend and am looking forward to the chance to return in the future to truly be immersed in the learning experience of this fantastic conference.

Think Tank 2020 was simply the best HR conference! Most presentations were highly interactive and all afforded ideas, practices and thought-provoking challenges to be immediately implemented. First rate, exceptional, well worth the time investment!
- Jeanette K Winters, Chief Talent Officer
The amount of intellectual horsepower in the participant list was truly impressive. The size, structure, and venue gave us a chance to learn from peers, speakers, and attendees alike - even when I was speaking, I was learning. I also really liked the "each speaker goes twice" design - it added value as a speaker and gave people a chance to see more of what they wanted.
- Ed Muzio, CEO of Group Harmonics, Inc.
This conference was terrific--small enough to easily network and meet lots of fantastic people and large enough to have dynamic and powerful speakers/sessions. I left feeling enthused with all of the new ideas and knowledge.
- Jenni Shera, Director of Talent Development
Inspiring! Best Conference I’ve attended in my career.
- Kathryn Reddick, Coach & Facilitator
Great program! Wonderful speakers and the connecting opportunities were orchestrated and awesome.Tangible take aways and a glimpse into what is on the horizon. Small enough to be intimate and left with many new friends and colleagues!
