Apply To Be a 2024 CLO Symposium Speaker

Learning Leads the Way: A People + Business Strategy for Now & the Future

October 21-23 2024 | University of Arizona | Tucson, AZ

As people and skills become increasingly fundamental to organizational success, chief learning officers and learning leaders are navigating the complex interplay between L&D initiatives and broader business goals. And their voices and influence are growing in volume and strength.

The 2024 Chief Learning Officer Symposium will explore the convergence of L&D strategy with overarching business strategy. This distinguished three-day gathering is designed for forward-thinking CLOs and learning executives, providing an exclusive platform to delve into the transformative power of aligning learning, development and talent initiatives with the strategic heartbeat of the organization. Immerse yourself in a curated experience of insightful keynotes, peer-driven discussions and interactive workshops, with a focus on emerging technologies, skills agility, talent mobility and much more, all aimed to equip you with the tools to spearhead a holistic approach to employee growth while driving tangible business outcomes.

You don't want to miss the 20th anniversary!
