#TICE2022

Dear fellow learning leader, We are beyond excited to reunite in person with our learning community this week during the 2022 Training Industry Conference & Expo (TICE)! With so much in flux in recent years, it is essential for us to gather with like-minded professionals whose perspectives can help us think outside the box in our own organizations. At TICE, we cultivate a united learning community that supports one another and provides deep, relevant insight not found anywhere else. Over the course of the next three days, you will unveil the trends and gain the knowledge and connections needed to lead learning at your organization. We have carefully defined seven learning tracks for you to personalize your TICE experience — ensuring you will find strategies to help you tackle your most pressing needs. Kicking off each day of TICE, our keynote speakers will push your boundaries and inspire you to be a better leader during change, challenge what you know about learning technologies and battle your unconscious bias. One of our favorite aspects of this week is watching you connect with one another. Take advantage of the intentional and even serendipitous networking opportunities this week, like roundtable discussions, our networking barbeque and the innovation event where you’ll meet experts behind some of the most innovative technologies and solutions in our industry. We are eager to meet with you this week and tackle common challenges, celebrate triumphs and together, prepare our workforces for the future. Once again, thank you for being a part of our learning community. We can’t wait to learn alongside you during TICE!   Sincerely,

Ken Taylor CEO | Training Industry, Inc.

Post-COVID-19 Edtech Landscape: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Stella Lee

Glenwood Ballroom

As many organizations transitioned to remote work in early 2020, learning and training departments had to rapidly pivot to support digital learning and performance. As a result, the uptake of educational technology (edtech) solutions grew exponentially. Today, the current landscape for learning solutions is more complex and confusing than ever. To begin with, there are a plethora of systems available, like a learning management system (LMS), learning content management system (LCMS) and learning experience platform (LXP), and each of them are constantly evolving and have similar sounding features and marketing pitches. As learning leaders, how do we make sense of the dynamic learning technology ecosystem?

8:30-9:30AM

EdTech Strategist Founder | Paradox Learning, Inc.

FEATURED SESSIONS

Elevate Your Role: Making L&D A Core Strategic Imperative Strategic Alignment Today, two powerful economic forces in the world of work and the economy are intersecting: the vulnerability and uncertainty in the supply and value chain and that in the workforce. The solution to both issues — as always — is people. Without people, there’s no value chain; there’s no productivity. Without people, there’s no innovation or profit. And the key to sustaining people in the midst of unprecedented changes is creating workspaces where people know they belong and feel secure enough to be productive and learn. In this session, your host, Dr. Tommy Darwin, a consultant for AXIOM Learning Solutions will explore how you can build on this moment in history by acting as a strategic partner and leading your company forward with continuous learning and development (L&D).

WEDNESDAY

In this interactive session, you will learn how to: • Identify how to integrate learning and development (L&D) into broader organizational strategy.

9:45-10:45AM

• Explore strategies to taking on an active leadership role across the organization. • Understand opportunities presented by the historic intersection of the value chain and today’s workforce.

EMPLOYEE WELLNESS

ONBOARDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR L&D

Glenwood Ballroom

Amid The Great Resignation, organizations must take a closer look at what employees need to be successful including their well-being. Employees are experiencing higher levels of stress and anxiety both outside and within organizations. This roundtable will address how L&D can prioritize employee mental health and encourage a culture where bringing your whole self to work is recognized.

Onboarding is no longer just a box to be checked, but a strategic initiative that companies need to get right. This roundtable will discuss the challenges L&D faces specific to onboarding including topics like pre-boarding, dispersed learners, diversity and inclusion considerations and how long onboarding should last.

UNDERSTANDING AGILE LEARNING What is agile and should you incorporate it into your learning design? With an increased demand for rapidly developed learning content, you probably should consider it. This roundtable will discuss agile principles and how creating learning programs using this expedited, flexible and collaborative approach can improve the impact of your L&D team.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION ESSENTIALS Metrics help shape training programs and highlight potential functional gaps. Learning leaders must use strong tactics and strategies for measuring the impact of their training programs. By doing so, they can prove return on investment (ROI), show learner retention and identify a path forward. This roundtable discussion focuses on approaches to measuring and reporting on learning programs.
