ILA 33rd Annual Convention
We ARE Listening: Advocate, Research, Educate
More details on our calendar
Exciting news! Board Members Darren Nerland and Nicole Forward will be presenting at the conference~
The members of ILA cover a broad spectrum of interests and professions, from education, business, research, and general backgrounds. These include university professors, physicians and healthcare providers, business consultants, training and development professionals, business coaches, leadership professionals, musicians, and many other specialties. What field does not encompass some aspect of listening!
For this particular session, we will probably see mostly our business special interest group members, but we will also see members from the other specialties, as well.
The International Listening Association is a professional association dedicated to the study and teaching of effective listening in a wide variety of settings.
(Please see our website at www.listen.org for further information about the organization. There is additional information about the 2012 Convention on the site, as well.)
Our Convention typically has about 120-150 attendees, and they come from the U.S. and a number of foreign countries. We also have a special interest group in the organization that focuses on listening in a business setting, and we have partnered with several other ASTD chapters around the country at some of our past Conventions, offering special programs and mini-conferences that relate to training and development and listening.
