The messy middle deserves its own conference.
There is plenty of content out there about leadership. But, what about the person handling the project that changed scope, the team member who needs support, the stakeholder who wants one more thing, and the budget question with no context?
This event is for the people close to the work, leading teams through the everyday moments that shape whether learning actually happens.
Managing L&D is its own skill set. This conference is where managers build it.
You are in the right place if you are managing…

Why now?
L&D managers are being asked to do more than ever.
Teams are navigating constant change, heavier workloads, new technology, shifting business priorities, and increased pressure to prove value. Managers are the ones navigating that for their teams and themselves, all while also keeping projects moving and stakeholders aligned.
The ATD L&D Managers Conference focuses on the practical management skills that help you and your learning teams thrive in the middle of it all.
You are not imagining it. Managing L&D is its own skill set.
