2009 Fall Leadership Summit & Lab October 6-8, 2009

View Draft Agenda

The ASTD Benchmarking Forum is proud to launch our second Fall Summit, The New Frontier: Connecting, Collaborating & Learning.  This year’s hosts are members Agilent and Intel.  Like 2009, this summit will be in partnership with ASTD’s LXN, thus allowing senior learning executives from non-member companies to participate.

For the first time, The Fall Summit and Lab will be offered in a highly interactive virtual setting in its entirety through WebEx and other tools, including an interactive web portal.  The Summit is also part Lab since many participants will be stretching their virtual engagement skills and using new technologies.

The invitations and registration forms for the Form and the LXN participants are in this folder. There is limited space due to technology constraints, so we encourage early registration.

Updates to the schedule will be posted on this site.  Bios and other information will be on the password protected Community of Practice.
 
A web portal hosts the community, The New Frontier: Connecting, Collaborating & Learning, on the Forum’s collaborative space. You must register to access the space. Any member of the Forum can participate in all communities on the site. We encourage everyone to complete a profile, engage in discussions, and contribute to the theme.  All content related to the theme is welcome.  LXN guests will have limited access to the site for 60 days, beginning September 9.  The instructions for registering are in this folder.

In addition to the web portal, Forum activities related to The New Frontier: Connecting, Collaborating & Learning theme include:
