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.

Agenda
Pre-Conference – Oct. 15
Day 1 – Oct. 16
Ashley St. John, Chief Learning Officer’s chief content officer and editor-in-chief, introduces the event theme, “All Eyes on the Future: Building a Culture of Lifelong Learning”.
How do we measure learning and development’s contribution to human and business performance? Is there evidence for the impact of training? What are credible facts for learning effectiveness?
These are difficult questions to answer, but difficult does not mean impossible. Join Kevin M. Yates, the L&D Detective™, as he solves a measurement mystery during this Chief Learning Officer Symposium keynote session.
Working alongside Kevin, you will conduct an impact measurement investigation. You’ll examine nine questions, the answers to which are essential for successfully measuring impact for training and learning. You’ll also collect facts, clues, evidence and data that reveal learning and development’s influence on human performance and business results.

Day 2 – Oct. 17
Nobody wakes up in the morning aiming to be average. Many people want to be successful but don’t know how to approach this path. They have the potential but need a plan. Based on research and in-person interviews with astronauts, Nobel Prize winners, CEOs and Olympic champions, this presentation outlines the methodological approach that individuals aspiring to improve their performance can adopt to achieve success.
High achievers share the same four attributes: intrinsic motivation, perseverance, a strong foundation and constant learning through informal means. The key to their success is that they do all four of these things in tandem.
Based on the book “The Success Factor” and using these four shared attributes as a guide, this presentation helps you reach peak performance by applying the lessons of high achievers in your own life: Identify your passion using a Passion Audit; learn how and where to find a mentor and how to build a mentoring team; develop your own community of practice; pursue your interests through informal learning; and manage your time and energy.

“Business as usual” is no longer applicable in 2023. For more than a decade, digital disruption has impacted almost every business and industry. As a result, the traditional rules and assumptions of business are becoming less valid for sustainable success in the global business landscape.
What will the future of business and work look like? And how can leadership teams prepare the company and its people for the future?
Kamales Lardi, digital transformation and technology expert and author of “The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation,” offers a peek into the future of business and how digital and learning mindsets will become the center point of surviving and thriving in the digital economy.
We conclude the event with a few words from Ashley St. John, Chief Learning Officer’s chief content officer and editor-in-chief, followed by open networking.
