LWHRA is proud to partner with the Association for Talent Development on networking and training opportunities. We would like to show our appreciation for this joint partnership by extending our member pricing for Symposium to our colleagues at ATDps.

Please join us for the largest all-day event organized by our association, attracting more than 350 attendees. HR Professionals are working in the knowledge economy. We know that information is our most valuable commodity and, in an era, where we are being pulled in multiple directions, our goal at the 2019 Symposium is to "Get Focused and Cut Out the Noise" for one day and focus on your development.

These days, information is available in almost infinite abundance, delivered automatically to our electronic devices or accessible with a few clicks of the mouse.
