The Association for Talent Development's Core4 Conference helps talent development professionals develop and refine the core skills in workplace learning and development.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. , July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Julie Dirksen, author, learning strategy consultant, and Learning Guild Guidemaster, will headline Core4—the Association for Talent Development's three-day learning experience for TD professionals that focuses on the core elements of learning and development. The conference will take place September 29–October 1 in Orlando, Florida.
Dirksen is the author of the books Design for How People Learn and Talk to the Elephant: Design Learning for Behavior Change. She is a learning strategy consultant with a focus on incorporating behavioral science into learning interventions. She's been an adjunct faculty member at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
Along with the opening keynote address, Dirksen will deliver a session titled "The Science of Attention and Engagement for Learning." The session will highlight what current science says about how attention, willpower, and decision making interact; and how that influences the design of digital and learning environments.
ATD's Core4 explores the four core elements of workplace learning and development: evaluating impact, instructional design, training delivery and facilitation, and emerging trends. The event will have 28 educational sessions, product demos, and networking opportunities.
Core4 will take place in person and virtually. For more information, visit core4.td.org.
