Get ready for ATD-LA’s award-winning Brain Exchange and Networking Get-Together!
The Brain Exchange is our very popular forum to share your winning ideas, best practices and lessons learned with your peers to help generate better solutions for on-the-job problems.
Whether it’s something you heard at an ATD or Dev Learn Conference in 2025, an interesting new idea you came across, or a personal lesson learned, we know there’s something important you have to share!
We invite you to shine in the spotlight and share with your ATD-LA community in 90 seconds:
- A Talent Development-related work problem you faced, your solution to the problem and any lessons learned or best practices, or
- Something fascinating you learned when working on your own professional development
- Go a step further and also show which ATD Talent Capability(ies) aligns with your share
Here are the rules to the Brain Exchange:
- Introduce yourself - Name, Title and Organization
- Explain your problem and solution or the thing you learned in 90 seconds
- Moderators will give you an alert at the 45-second mark
An award will be presented to the top two ideas selected by our panel of judges. Details on the evaluation criteria to be used by the judges will be shared soon.
