Members of the higher education community attending ATD 2019 are invited for coffee, conversation, and a session covering topics unique to the needs of talent development professionals in a college or university setting. Share best practices and learn from your peers. This year we'll be focusing on public policy as it relates to higher ed, the skills gap, and workforce development. (RSVP's are encouraged, but not required.)

Who Should Attend?
• Talent development practitioners working for an institution of higher learning (universities, colleges, and community colleges in the United States and abroad)

• Talent development professionals (HR, employee development, faculty/staff development)

• Faculty teaching talent development-related courses/interested in professional development and bridging the skills gap.

Additional Opportunities

PhD Students: Interested in sharing your dissertation research or connecting with a faculty member in an informal mentorship capacity? We'd like to provide you the opportunity to connect with faculty at the conference.

Faculty: Likewise, would you be interested in informally mentoring a doctoral student at the conference and giving them an opportunity to run their dissertation research by you?
