The Top Learning, HR & Talent Development Conferences to Attend in 2021

One of our most popular blog posts of the year is where we share what conferences are coming up. With most of the world unable to meet face to face, the dates have been very fluid… it’s also taken us a while to fact check everything!

If you are keen to keep track of what’s happening in the Learning, HR and Talent and Development sphere, we’ve updated our calendar with the top conferences scheduled for the rest of 2021 so you can stay up to date with the latest trends. You won’t want to miss it! And we have upgraded from the printable version designed for the wall, we’ve gone digital and have created this page where you can just click straight through from the links.

In other conference news – for the first time in 12 months, I was excited to be invited to speak in person at HR Leadership Network’s L&D Leadership Summit in Sydney earlier this week. I know there are a huge number of people around the world that aren’t fortunate enough to go out at the moment – you were in our thoughts and we went all out to milk every inch of it so as not to waste the opportunity.

I will also be speaking at NZ ATD in June (virtually!), LDA in July and the AITD conference in Melbourne – I hope! And of course, keep an eye on my blog for more conference news and where we can meet online or in-person and learn together.

Let me know if there’s a great conference that’s happening out there and we can add it to the list. And if you know of a conference I should be speaking out, I’m open to sharing!

Enjoy your conference learning whatever format it takes…. and if you want some tips on best practise for learning at a conference, check out my interview with Michelle Ockers here.

The learning never stops.
