Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 27, 2016 -- Chief Learning Officer (CLO) magazine, a Human Capital Media publication, announced the programming details for its newly rebranded flagship event, the CLO Symposium+PLUS.

Widely recognized as the premier conference for senior learning and development professionals, this fall’s event will be held Sept. 26-27, 2016, at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Built with the theme “The Talent Economy,” the CLO Symposium+PLUS uncovers the cutting-edge integrated talent practices needed to thrive in today’s competitive economy. Keynote speakers include top management and performance experts as well as authors and entertainers including:

• Troy Carter, tech entrepreneur, venture capitalist and founder/CEO of talent entertainment company Atom Factory
• Edward Hallowell, psychiatrist and bestselling author of “Driven to Distraction at Work”
• Whitney Johnson, author, “Disrupt Yourself: Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work” and contributor to Harvard Business Review
• Eric Weiner, travel writer and New York Times bestselling author of “The Geography of Bliss,” and former international correspondent for NPR

“Today’s most effective organizations make talent management a top priority,” said Mike Prokopeak, editor-in-chief of Chief Learning Officer. “Our aim, as it has been since the first CLO Symposium in 2004, is to provide the kind of forward-thinking ideas and insight that leaders can use to achieve ever-higher levels of success, both personally and professionally.”

Chief Learning Officer magazine will also host a special ceremony at the event recognizing the winners of the 2016 CLO Learning In Practice Awards. Now in their 14th year, these awards recognize industry leaders for excellence in the design and delivery of workforce learning and development programs.

Also in Scottsdale, the magazine will host the CLO Accelerator, an exclusive pre-conference development experience taught by a faculty of current and former CLOs aimed at helping learning professionals fast track their career development.

Headline sponsors for this year’s CLO Symposium+Plus include Axonify; Keller Center for Corporate Learning of DeVry University ; Saba; and SumTotal, a Skillsoft Company.
