2009 ASTD International Conference & Exposition (ASTD ICE)

Greetings from the ASTD International Conference & Exposition (ASTD ICE)!

As a member of this year's conference Planning Advisory Committee (ASTD ICE PAC), I worked with Andrew Royal (Senior International Development Specialist for Mary Kay, Inc) to identify the educational content for the Facilitating Organizational Change track.

That being said, I can't help but list some of my favourite picks for today's sessions (Sunday, May 31st, 2009):

• Allison Rossett (10:30am ET) - New Metrics for a New World - SU102
• C. Michael Ferraro (12:00pm ET) - Building a Working Partnership with the Public Workforce System - SU105 (I've had the pleasure of working with Michael as a fellow PAC member!)
• Jennifer Hofmann (12:00pm ET) - Using Kirkpatrick to Educate Synchronous Training - SU113
• Lou Russell (12:00pm ET) - Project Management for Sponsors: Managing Expectations for Project Success - SU207
• Amy Hand (12:00pm ET) - Unleashing the Power of Your Training Brand - SU117

Looking forward to Ken Phillips' presentation tomorrow (Monday, June 1st 12:30pm ET) - Developing Valid Level 2 Evaluations - M119, as well as the opening of the EXPO.

I'll definitely be at the Learn.com booth (#931) spending some time dishing Talent Management with fellow chapter leader and friend, Michael Sabbag- Learn.com Talent Management VP.

I'm especially looking forward to disucssing Michael's new book, "Developing Exemplary Performance One Person at a Time."

And a few quick announcements...

American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) International Conference & Exposition (ICE)

I'm just off an ASTD ICE Planning Advisory Committee call. We're in the process of planning the conference orientation sessions for Washington DC.

Different orientation sessions are offered for English speakers versus non-English speakers.

There are two (2) ASTD ICE sessions scheduled for English speakers.

They are:

• Saturday, May 30th, 2009 - 5:00pm to 6:15pm ET
• Sunday, May 31st, 2009 - 9:45am to 11:00am ET

The orientation is to provide new conference goers with:

• An overview of the conference resources & logistics (e.g. orientation to the Program Guide; where to go to find what information; the flow of the conference, etc.)
• Networking opportunities (we're working on some icebreakers / breakouts)
• An understanding of conference offerings & suggestions on where they can get help (e.g. how do I plan my time? what's an innogizer? where can I get coffee? how can I ship stuff home? etc.)

I'm one of the Orientation presenters both days; stop by and say "Hi!"
