Why send your full early talent development team to the Summit?

If your company is already sending someone to the conference, that’s great! But there are compelling reasons why you should send your full early talent development team to the LDP Summit (and here are some testimonials from those who do!):

  1. Invest in Everyone: If you’re looking to invest in your people, there is no better conference. The LDP Summit has been laser-focused on serving early talent program management staff since 2012. If it’s valuable for one of your EC development staff members, isn’t it valuable for all of them?
  2. A Network for All: While some organizations send one team member and hope that person can “report back” to the team on learnings, we all know that a conference’s content is only a portion of the value. The relationships with early talent colleagues at other organizations are perhaps the biggest benefit. They bring value well beyond the conference, and your team can’t build those relationships unless they’re there!
  3. NEW Exclusive Team Workshop: The first 10 organizations sending 4 or more people get an invite to our pre-conference workshop “The Clarity Lab: Nature-Based Reset” with mindful pragmatist, and highly-rated keynote speaker from last year’s conference, Shawntà Hooks. Early talent teams rarely get a chance to pause together. Beyond all of the ideas and connections they’ll get at the Summit, this pre-conference session offers a shared reset — an opportunity to shed the noise, reconnect, and start the conference aligned, energized, and ready to learn. You’ll rebuild cohesion and strengthen communication, surfacing insights that typical meetings rarely allow and restoring the shared purpose that can get lost in constant delivery.
  4. Save Money: Send 4 or more people and they all get a 10% discount (or, become a professional or enterprise member, and save even more.)

Join us!  We want to see you (and your colleagues) in Atlanta this coming May.
