TRAINING MATTERS KEYNOTE — Activating Mindsets to Move From Fear to Discovery
The speed of change has never been greater. Our need to transform has never been more critical. We must think and act differently and learn to expand and stretch outside our comfort zones. Learn how to help your organization gracefully move beyond discomfort into curiosity by practicing small mindset and behavioral shifts.
This John Sweeney quote appeared on millions of Starbucks cups: "Improvisers don't look at change as an obstacle; we look at it as fuel. We know that the next great idea lies just on the other side of change. We are constantly asking ourselves, 'what we can do to incite change?' Well?" |

TRAINING ESSENTIALS — Tips & Techniques
In this Tips & Techniques session, you'll hear from five industry experts in back-to-back pithy presentations. Later in the day, you'll have the chance to follow-up with one of them in a How-To session.
Subject-Matter Experts: Friend or Foe?
Diane Elkins, Co-Founder, Artisan E-Learning
Subject-matter experts have lots of expertise — that’s kind of the point. As instructional designers, it’s our job to translate that expertise into something useful for the learners. Sometimes that’s an easy process — and sometimes it can feel like a battle. Forging productive relationships with subject-matter experts can help us do just that.
Training’s Beacon of Hope in Global Gloom
Jim Kirkpatrick, Co-Owner, Kirkpatrick Partners
Discover how today’s challenging times create a unique opportunity for training to make a positive difference in the world and show unquestionable value.
The Secret to Massive Participant Engagement in Virtual Training
Sardek Love, President and Founder, Infinity Consulting and Training Solutions
Add this extraordinarily simple method to any virtual training course and watch your participant engagement skyrocket to new heights with ease.
The Instructional Design Game: Let's Build a Better Mousetrap!
Jean Marrapodi, Senior Learning Architect, MassMutual
Without it, your training is at risk of failure. Come learn the mantra for success.
Content Is Not King (& It Never Really Was)
Joe Urbanski, COO and Org Culture, Total Solutions Group (TSG)
People are drowning in content since the Internet arrived in 1995, so now it’s your job as a leader to transform how people experience that content in a way that improves recruitment, engagement, and retention in the 21st century! |

TRAINING MATTERS KEYNOTE — Positivity Matters in Times of Crisis
Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, has studied depressed Harvard students, banks in financial crisis, school shootings, the Boston bombings, the Flint water crisis, and more. His research consistently demonstrates that in times of crisis, positivity matters more than ever. Indeed, the more positive the brain becomes during challenges, the more capable it is to recover from stress, anxiety, and trauma, and proactively adapt to changing circumstances. Shawn will help you understand why this is relevant — and vital — for your organization to both boost employee happiness and performance, and promote positivity as the pathway forward in these challenging times.
Shawn Achor is one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review; his TED Talk is one of the most popular of all time; and he has advised more than a third of the Fortune 100 companies, the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon, and the White House. |

In this session, you’ll learn five key strategies for working more effectively with subject-matter experts to create content that sticks. |

Learn to give yourself permission to create and to fail — and be inspired to keep trying.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert — the woman Oprah Winfrey called a “rock star author”— is among her generation’s most beloved and inspiring voices. Gilbert’s memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, exploded onto the scene in 2006. |
