October Chapter Meeting: How L&D Can Enable AI Productivity and Safety (10/15/2026)

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 01:30:00 GMT

L&D has a critical role to play in the wider adoption of AI technology throughout the organization. As leaders, we are responsible both for ensuring that the tools used in our own organization are safe and free of bias. Additionally, we are responsible for thinking through how AI safety is replicated at every level of the organization.

We will cover:

The potential pitfalls of AI adaptation
The special case of AI bias in people operations:
- Why it exists
- How it can be measured
- Why this is a critical responsibility for HR operations
How to craft a dynamic AI internal use policy consistent with 2026 technology

ABOUT YOUR PRESENTER:

John Rood is founder of Proceptual, an AI governance training consultancy. In this role he has helped organizations from startup to Global 50 implement AI governance, safety, and compliance programs.

ATD-LA's Hollywood Premiere & Game Night (12/03/2026)

Fri, 04 Dec 2026 02:30:00 GMT

ATD-LA's Hollywood Premiere & Game Night

Celebrating 80 Years of Talent Development in Los Angeles

Whether you're a long-time member or new to the ATD LA community, this evening promises connection, insight, and celebration.

Lights. Camera. Game On.

The marquee is lit, the stage is set, and you're on the guest list. This December, ATD Los Angeles is taking over a Hollywood playhouse for an 80th anniversary celebration that's part premiere, part game show, and all about the people who make LA's learning community shine.

Picture it: a night in the heart of Hollywood, just steps from the Walk of Fame, with the colleagues who get what you do. Then the house lights dim, and the games begin.

The Night's Featured Attraction:
Game Night with Grin Events

Step into the spotlight as Grin Events brings your favorite TV game shows to life on stage.

Buzz in for Jeopardy, spin for Wheel of Fortune, and huddle with your team for Family Feud, with a few L&D questions mixed in to see who really knows their stuff. Bragging rights are on the line.

Survey says: You won't want to miss it.

The Red-Carpet Moments

Meet the new cast. Be in the room when the 2027 leadership team takes the stage for their debut.

Our own awards show. Cheer on this year's volunteer award winners, the stars behind a chapter run entirely by volunteers.

The year in review. Get the President's annual business update on where ATD-LA has been and where it's headed next.

The Scenes You'll Take Home

This premiere comes with a script you can actually use on Monday on the job.

ACORN's hands-on workshop takes an honest look at why development plans, skills frameworks, and one-on-ones often don't build real capability. You'll score yourself on the spot, walk through a worked example of an AI competency mapped by role and proficiency, and draft a capability line for a role you own. You'll leave with a 90-day plan and benchmarks from more than 1,200 organizations to measure against.

WICE from Cal Poly Pomona shows how the university's "Become by Doing" philosophy connects to what today's workforce needs, and what that means for how you design learning.

Every Premiere Needs an Audience

Long-time member or first-time guest, this is the one night each year when LA's entire talent development community shares the same stage. Bring a colleague, bring your competitive streak, and bring your best game-show face.

Get Your Ticket Before the Show Sells Out

An 80th anniversary premieres only once, and seating in the playhouse is limited. Reserve your seat today and claim your spot in the audience.

Let’s close the year together—
strong, inspired, and ready for what’s next.

Parking: Limited free parking behind the venue; free street parking nearby.

A special thank you to our Sponsors for this event.

Without their support this event would not be possible.
