OK – so it’s been a few minutes since I got back from ATD Core 4 in DC, July 24-26. Better late than never, so here are my notes and insights from a packed couple of days. ATD Core 4 – What’s Up with That ? Association for Talent Development (ATD) hosts huge conferences with 10,000 people plus. This is not one of those. Core 4 (Foundations in Talent Development) is an intimate conference format with about 400 attendees.
It’s already been a week since I got back from New Orleans, but the memories are still strong. The smells of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter perhaps a bit too strong – but the sights were amazing, the conference was intimate and inspiring, and the Louisiana gulf red fish (two nights in a row!) made it a worthwhile trip on the food alone. People are still warming back up to travel and in-person conferences.
In preparation for the 2nd edition of "The Accidental Instructional Designer: Learning Design for the Digital Age" (coming April 2023), I'm looking for updated insights about those of us who work in the instructional design/learning experience design space.

It's been a long time, and, man, it was really good to be back in person with my L+D peeps at the Learning Guild's Learning Solutions 2022 (#LSCon). 900 or so of us converged in Orlando, Florida for a week of talking, socializing, listening, learning, dining, laughing, commiserating, connecting, and re-connecting. Man, was it exhausting. Also super inspiring.

Now THIS is what Deliberate Practice looks like! Last night, the Fire Department used the house next door (which will be demolished on Wednesday) as a training ground. It was pretty exciting to watch the smoke and fire streaming out of the windows and to see the firefighters climbing the roof and cutting holes in it. Alas, they didn't burn the house completely to the ground, much to my daughter's chagrin.
