The Future of Learning Moves Fast. Don’t Get Left Behind.

Warning: Early Bird pricing ends April 1st—and the price hike is no joke!

The L&D landscape shifts overnight. What worked yesterday is likely obsolete today. The ATD Houston Virtual Technology Conference is your fast track to the front lines of talent development. This isn't just another webinar—it’s a high-impact, strategic download from the visionaries currently redefining our industry.

Why You Need to Be There:

  • Global Visionaries, Zero Travel: Access world-class insights from international leaders like Dr. Keith Keating and Johann Laville without the flight, hotel, or premium price tag.
  • Practical Blueprints: We’re moving beyond theory. Walk away with "day-one" strategies for AI integration, instructional design, and learning operations.
  • The "Vault" Advantage: Life is busy. Your registration includes permanent access to all session recordings and materials so you can learn at your own pace.
  • Community & Prizes: Connect with a network of forward-thinkers and enter for a chance to win high-value sponsor raffles
Don’t wait for the price to jump. Secure your spot now before Early Bird pricing vanishes on April 1st. Unlike the date, this is not a prank—grab your pass today and lead the charge into the future of learning.
