2008 Conference & Exposition

   ASTD Houston 2008 Conference and Exposition -
Raising Organization Development Excellence Overall!

We warmly invite you to join us for this unprecedented event where you will expand your Workplace Learning & Performance knowledge. This annual event is of interest to workplace learning and performance leaders, human resource professionals, trainers, organizational consultants, and business leaders.

On September 23, 2008, you will have an opportunity to spend the day with a number of thought leaders and speakers who will raise your awareness and challenge your perceptions of today’s workplace. They will bring actionable ways in which to forge a path in your organization to maximize the value of a diverse workforce. You will learn how to expand your own capabilities through discussion and sharing of best practices.

Today we all work side by side with individuals who are from different backgrounds and experiences and are multi-generational. The diversity of our workplace brings greater diversity of thought and action and it can enhance our business results. As leaders in workplace learning and performance, we need to know what specific actions we can take to ensure a positive and productive workforce. You will learn about practical strategies and tools that can be implemented in your organization that speak to the needs of each individual employee. We will help you build culturally competent talent management strategies and programs.

I am exceptionally excited about the content of this year's conference. I passionately urge you to attend. This is a great opportunity for you to participate and contribute to the evolving design and practice of our profession. You will emerge with greater insight and support to make meaningful contributions to your company or your business and the world.

Do not miss it!
