This is not your typical conference.

This is why Think Tankers love this conference:

  • It is intimate, giving you the opportunity to meet nearly every attendee if you wish to do so, which fosters meaningful connections among participants.
  • There is an abundance of interactive workshops aimed at providing insights and best practices from both talent development professionals and speakers.
  • There are personally curated speakers, ensuring 100% relevance and engagement.
  • Absence of an Expo Hall to allow a concentrated focus on learning, free from sales-oriented distractions.
  • The event is lively, pulsating with an ongoing buzz felt throughout the room!
  • We focus on FUN!
"This is one of the most interactive, fun, engaging conferences I've ever been to!"

What's in it for me, you ask?

Experience cutting-edge thought leadership from keynoters, facilitators, and attendees, solve real problemsbuild your network, and accelerate your career.

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 people Andy attracted to the TDTT event were amazing and have truly created lifelong friends. In a post COVID world, getting the opportunity to meet some many people in person was amazing.

- Phillip Migyanko, Career Coach

Interaction with other attendees (no power points in breakouts!) and the smaller, more intimate group that meant we could really get to know each other. Also loved having a charity represented - that was fun to work together to donate. Almost all the keynote speakers were fantastic! Finally, LOVED the mastermind session - it was SO helpful!

- Jess Almlie, Learning & Performance Strategist

I loved the intimate environment and opportunities to connect with so many people at the conference.

- Katey Watts, Talent Manager

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!

- Wendy Hanson, Co-Founder & Chief Program Officer at BetterManager
