Unique Conference Convenes Executives at the Intersection of Learning and Talent
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 12, 2017 -- Human Capital Media, publisher of Chief Learning Officer magazine and Talent Economy, is breaking new ground with 2017 Symposium+PLUS. The uniquely collaborative conference will bring both corporate learning and talent executives together to explore their mutually strategic role in attracting, retaining and developing the talent needed to compete in an innovation-driven world.
Convening in California, October 2-3, at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa, the meeting is expected to attract hundreds of senior learning and development leaders, human capital management professionals and corporate executives from around the world for lively debate and knowledge-sharing focused on The Talent Economy.
“Innovation has shifted from a coveted competitive advantage to an absolute imperative for survival,” said Mike Prokopeak, HCM vice president and editor in chief. “That puts the onus squarely on the shoulders of every executive — from the C-suite on down — who plays a role in shaping the composition and capabilities of the workforce. All of their roles and responsibilities are rapidly changing, and that’s creating synergistic opportunities for learning and talent leaders to work together on creating the best innovation-era workforce possible. Symposium+PLUS creates a very focused, high-level forum where some of that critical collaboration can actually take place.”
Prokopeak characterized the conference agenda as “definitely not an echo chamber that only features the voices of industry insiders.” In addition to presentations by chief learning officers, human capital management experts and talent economy influencers, the program offers “refreshing new perspectives and outsider ideas that challenge conventional thinking for these unconventional times.” Speakers lined up to keynote the two-day meeting include:
• Francesca Gino, Harvard Business School Professor and Author of “Sidetracked: Why Our Decisions Get Derailed and How We Can Stick to the Plan.”
• Dr. Tasha Eurich, Author, “Insight.”
• Dan Lyons, Columnist and Author of “Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-up Bubble.”
• Cal Newport, Author, “Deep Work.”
Jointly, the editorial staffs from Chief Learning Officer and Talent Economy also are putting together workshops showcasing successful initiatives and solutions, a series of narrative FASTalks from practitioners and opportunities for executives to network with corporate counterparts who understand the evolving leadership demands of the current environment. Symposium attendance is limited to active industry professionals and a select group of sponsors. Registrants can earn recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute as well as SHRM.
Symposium+PLUS also coincides with the annual unveiling of Chief Learning Officer magazine’s Learning In Practice Awards recognizing industry leaders who have demonstrated excellence in the design and delivery of employee development programs. The winners and the 2017 CLO of the Year will be honored at a special awards presentation October 3.
