August - Community of Practice: Small Yet Mighty L&D Teams - Skills Round Table

August 6, 2026

9 AM - 10:30 AM – Modernwell

This event is limited to 28 participants

Join us for a different kind of Small Yet Mighty session—no formal speaker, just a highly interactive session focused on one big question: What human skills aren’t replaceable?

Together, we’ll dive deep into skills-based development, exploring how our roles as talent development professionals are evolving in response to AI, shifting workforce expectations, and supporting internal mobility. Participants will rotate through three facilitated roundtable discussions, collaborating with peers to share challenges, exchange ideas, and surface practical solutions.

Modernwell is a members-only coworking space. We are excited to hold our events in their beautiful space, but can not extend access beyond the event time. Once the event ends, all attendees are expected to depart the building OR they can purchase a day pass at a discounted rate of $30 for the remainder of the day. Please stop by the ModernWell front desk before or after the event to purchase your pass.

This program is FREE for all ATD-GTC members. Members may bring one complimentary, registered guest.

We’re thrilled to share that ATD Twin Cities events have been filling quickly — and many now have active waitlists. That is such a great reflection of the engaged, curious, and committed community we continue to build together.

Because seats are in high demand, we ask one simple favor: if your plans change and you’re no longer able to attend, please take a quick moment to

1. View your profile on our website
2. Select MY event registrations
3. Locate the event you cannot attend and select CANCEL REGISTRATION.

That helps us open your seat to another member who is hoping to join us and keeps valuable spots from going unused.

We look forward to seeing you there and if you cannot attend, thank you in advance for helping us make sure every seat is filled by someone ready to participate!
