Oprah! And Other Amazing Things at the ATD Conference
As Director of Business Development for PM College, the learning and development arm of PM Solutions, Johanna Mickel possesses over 25 years’ experience as a business development professional working with major organizations by providing professional services for the planning and implementation of large, complex solutions especially in the professional development arena. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Johanna manages PM Solutions’ global learning and development.
The ATD 2019 Conference opened on Sunday and my colleague Crystal Busch and I are here, scribbling furiously as we try to bring the best insights home to PM College, and of course our blog readers. The conference is a big one, the largest conference of learning professionals:
- Over 13,000 participants attending (Wow. But then, ATD has been around for 76 years.)
- 90 countries represented
- 300+ sessions over the course of four days.
The conference app helps us organize our schedule and includes a much-needed navigation feature to let you know how to get from one session to the next (because this place is HUGE). One indication of the scope: Oprah was Monday's keynote (they let us know that we could line up starting at 6 AM …. as if!) Crystal has written an amazing overview of Oprah's speech here ... and you can read mine over on the PM Solutions blog here.
We are also bringing you brief overview of the best insights from as many presentations as we can. Watch for our updates on Twitter, Linked In, and here on the PM College blog.
Gotta run! (Literally ... )
