CLO Symposium, now in its 19th year, is the premier event for learning and development executives to gather and exchange ideas, best practices and emerging trends. Developed and driven by the editors of Chief Learning Officer magazine, the CLO Symposium is where learning, training and development professionals come together to learn from each other. By connecting with people and teams who have faced similar challenges and goals, you can learn practical applications that will help you and your team achieve the results your organization expects. Get the most out of the experience by bringing your top executives and team members to the event (ask us about group discounts). We look forward to seeing you there!
SPECIAL NOTE: We understand there has been some confusion with numerous “CLO” events that have sprouted up over the years. The annual CLO Symposium is the ONLY conference produced by the editors of Chief Learning Officer magazine (published since 2003), chieflearningofficer.com. CLO Symposium has been the gold standard for corporate learning events for 19 years. Accept no substitutes.
