Modernize Your Training at ATD 2018

ATD-2018-thumb

ATD 2018 is on the horizon and this year is projected to be the biggest and most exciting one yet. So the question is, will we see you there? Here’s a brief list of things that make this year’s conference extra special: So, mark your calendars for May 6-9 and join us for the largest annual conference in the learning and development industry.

  1. It’s ATD’s 75th anniversary.
  2. It’s located in San Diego, CA.
  3. President Barack Obama is the keynote speaker.
  4. We’ll be there for the 4th year in a row helping innovative training leaders like yourself modernize your training.

Modern Training for Modern Learners

Today’s learners have much higher expectations compared to learners from 10—even 5—years ago. They want their training to mirror the content and technology they consume in their everyday lives – high-quality, engaging, and bite-sized.

Modern Content

No wonder employee training videos are so popular, especially with millennials. They’re the heaviest consumers of video content – and on track to comprise 75% of the workforce by 2025. Are you ready for them? In addition to videos, other up-and-coming modalities like interactive learning guides and virtual instructor-led training allow you to scale training to a larger number of learners without incurring the costs of classroom training.

Modern Technology

Modern learners also want training technology that’s as simple-to-use and engaging as the popular apps they use every day. Unfortunately, traditional learning management systems haven’t kept up, so it’s no wonder both learners and admins alike avoid your LMS at all costs.

Meet Unboxed At ATD 2018

It’s simple, really. We’re not just a training company. And we’re definitely not just an LMS company. We’re both. And like Apple’s industry-changing combination of iTunes (great content) and the iPod (innovative technology), we help you captivate today’s learners with a smart blend of short, personalized training content and an intuitive, engaging LMS. We’ll be showcasing this dynamic blend of content and our innovative social LMS at ATD 2018, and we’d love to meet you. Just a few minutes with our team could give you fresh ideas that will help you deliver training that excites the most diverse, dynamic, and demanding group of learners yet.

What's a great conference without great swag? In addition to some fun Unboxed giveaways, we'll be sharing two of our most helpful guides:
