Networking
Think of ASTD as your yearly training and development reunion. Each year you'll see old friends, familiar faces, and numerous opportunities to forge new relationships. ASTD offers attendees multiple ways to connect, but the best networking opportunity of all remains attending the conference. Learn about other networking opportunities.
Paperless Session Handouts
ASTD is discontinuing the use of printed handouts for conference sessions* and will provide handouts only as a password-protected download from a dedicated web page at www.astd.org/paperless.
ASTD introduced this new policy at TechKnowledge® 2010 to great success. Many industry-leading and socially responsible organizations that have adopted similar policies for their conferences have found this change to be very positive, in terms of reducing waste and as a service to society.
*Preconference Workshops will continue to have printed handouts.
