Partnering with AI to create Training- Tips, Tricks & Ideas

AI is no longer a future trend – it is here! And it’s transforming the way learning and development professionals design, deliver, and measure training. Sponsored by Mavriq Consulting the NEW ATD 2025 Signature Event is a hands-on, interactive workshop that goes beyond the hype to show you practical ways to put AI to work in your organization.

In this half-day experience, you will:

• Explore today’s AI landscape: What tools are available, how they’re being used, and the ethical considerations every professional should know.
• See AI in action: Live demonstrations of both technical and soft-skill training applications.
• Get hands-on: Experiment with AI tools to design training outlines, then collaborate with peers to build and pitch a universal training program.
• Engage in roundtable discussions: Connect with colleagues in facilitated conversations about AI’s impact on talent development.
• Walk away with action steps: Capture ideas, resources, and new skills you can immediately apply in your own work.

Whether you’re brand new to AI or already experimenting with tools, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives and practical strategies for integrating AI into your learning and development practices.

Don’t miss this chance to learn, practice, and network with peers who are navigating the same AI journey.
