  Program

  We are living through a time of great disruption in society and in the workplace, due in part to the accelerated digitization and automation of work. Many of tomorrow’s jobs have not even been imagined yet, and many of today’s jobs are changing rapidly. We are starting to recognize that learning and development will play an important role in re-skilling the workforce and building greater organizational agility to enable innovation and transformation. How do we rise to the occasion?

  Start by joining us for the 2019 Chief-Learning-Officer Panel, where we will hear from four innovative and highly experienced corporate learning leaders as they share what they’re doing to address these challenges, what technologies they’re leveraging, what lessons they’ve learned, and what results they’re achieving. Come also to connect with colleagues who share your passion. While you’re at it, bring your team and turn the day into a great development experience that stimulates brainstorming around the future of L&D at your organization. Our 2019 panel features:

  • Tamara Ganc, Global Head, Learning Design & Innovation, Google
  • Eric Brand, Executive Director, Endo Pharmaceuticals
  • Regina Carr Tierney, System Director, Education & Development, Main Line Health
  • Dominic DiGiacomo, Vice President - Talent Management, Janney Montgomery Scott, LLC

  Longtime talent and organizational development consultant Gus Prestera will be the moderator for this panel discussion, bringing his insight and experience working with senior leaders in the industry.

  Objectives

  • Onboarding
  • Employee performance
  • Employee development
  • Change resilience
  • Leadership development

  Plus, you’ll have a great time networking with colleagues, and maybe you’ll even bask in the victory of winning a door prize. What else could you want for a Thursday morning?!

  Join us as the leading edge meets today’s realities; bring your questions and your energy; don’t miss out on the opportunity to hear what approaches these innovative L&D leaders are using to drive results for their organizations.

  Event Description

  Even though Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the most ubiquitous software packages in the training world, many learning professionals merely scratch the surface of its capabilities. In this fast-paced session, you’ll uncover some of the best features for customizing the look of slides, engaging your audience, and saving you time.

  Our facilitator will show us design strategies to move from flying bullet points (which were the height of fashion in 1997!) to instructional animations. In this session, you’ll get into the nuts and bolts of PowerPoint and learn how to make some of those designs come to life. Whether you present in the classroom, convert PowerPoint slides to eLearning, or use PowerPoint for graphics to put in another authoring tool, this session will help you take your designs to the next level. You’ll learn to create graphics, animations, presentations, and courses that people won’t believe you did in PowerPoint. Plus, you’ll learn little-known shortcuts that will save you time in getting these great effects.

  In this session, you will learn:

  • How to create custom graphics quickly in PowerPoint
