ASTD 2001 International Conference and Exposition
ASTD 2001 International Conference and Exposition
The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) International Conference and Exposition is the leading event for everyone involved in linking people, learning and performance. More than 12,000 professionals will converge on the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida, USA in June 2001 for the biggest, most energizing event of the year. With more than 200 sessions, five top-name keynoters, the industry's largest EXPO and attendees from more than 80 countries, it is the one conference you can't afford to miss.
Dates for the event are as follows:
- •
1-2 June 2001: pre-conference workshops.
- •
3-7 June 2001: conference.
- •
4-6 June 2001: EXPO.
Change is the one constant in all the plans for ASTD 2001. ASTD promises you'll still find the high quality sessions, the wide scope and the top-level speakers ASTD is known for. But there's a new focus on creating customized programmes to address key needs and encourage networking:
- •
More keynoters bring you top-level vision, insight and motivation. Confirmed speakers include Tom Peters and Michelle Hunt.
- •
Six conference-within-a-conference events give you a home base within a bigger conference. You're still free to attend keynote sessions, the EXPO and concurrent sessions, but you'll also have the opportunity to focus intently on the topic you choose. You'll learn with and from people who share your interests.
- •
In 2001, the programme will take globalization to a new level. More than 20 per cent of speakers come from outside the USA. And, for the first time, the Iberian American T&D Forum will take place within the conference, offering three days of programming in Spanish and Portuguese.
- •
More networking opportunities will help you connect with people who understand your challenges and have ideas and experience to share. Watch for new networking lounges and a stronger emphasis on networking at Forums at Four sessions.
- •
EXPO will be bigger and more dynamic than ever this year. Innovations are multiplying as companies move online and exhibitors are eager to show you their latest ideas.
