CHapter Programming Events Calendar

We encourage all of our members, and non-members, to look through the scheduled events and attend as many as you'd like.

 Something new this year is that we also have all of our Executive Board, Board of Director, and department committee meetings scheduled and available on a separate calendar. We encourage members to attend any of these meetings to learn more about the leadership and how the chapter operates.

    • 12 Mar 2026

    A practice-based learning series for leaders, HR professionals, consultants, and facilitators focused on real-time application, peer feedback, and experiential tools—not lectures.

    FLOW in Practice™ is a four-session experiential lab designed for professionals who want to practice leadership, facilitation, and communication skills in real time.

    This is not a traditional workshop series. There are no long lectures or slide decks. Each session is built as a practice arena, using experiential facilitation tools and structured peer feedback to build confidence, clarity, and skill.

    Participants will work with 2–3 facilitation tools per session, rotating through live practice roles and reflecting on how their leadership and facilitation actually land with others.

    If you’re looking for passive learning, this is not the series for you.

    If you’re ready to practice, reflect, and apply—welcome.

    Select your sessions during registration or contact info@atdatlanta.org.

    Limited to 15 participants per session to ensure depth and safety.

    Assessment in Action is an ATD Greater Atlanta learning series designed to help talent development professionals explore how assessments can be used to support individual growth, leadership development, team effectiveness, coaching, career development, and organizational performance.

    The series introduces participants to a range of behavioral, personality, emotional intelligence, leadership, team, and workplace assessment tools. Each session focuses on practical application—helping participants understand not only what an assessment measures, but how its insights can be used responsibly and effectively in real workplace settings.

    Participants will hear from experienced practitioners, facilitators, coaches, consultants, and assessment providers who will share tools, case examples, implementation strategies, and lessons learned from applying assessments across different industries and organizational environments.

    Some sessions may also include information about certification, practitioner credentials, platform access, or pathways for professionals who want to expand their assessment capabilities. Certification is not required to participate, and each session is designed to provide value whether participants are experienced practitioners or simply exploring assessment-based development for the first time.

    Facilitated By:

    Cornelius Dowdell

    • Explore practical workplace applications
    • Learn how to interpret and facilitate assessment insights responsibly
    • Avoid common assessment misuse and overgeneralization

    Program Ownership and Sponsorships

    Assessment in Action is an ATD Greater Atlanta program.

    The series is sponsored by The Nelius Strategy and may include additional co-sponsors, strategic partners, assessment providers, and guest practitioners.

    Participating organizations may contribute educational sessions, practical tools, case studies, demonstrations, certification information, or other learning resources aligned with the goals of the series.

    All sessions are educational-first. Participation as a sponsor or featured provider does not represent exclusive endorsement by ATD Greater Atlanta.

    Why This Series Matters

    Assessments can create awareness, but awareness alone does not improve performance.

    Meaningful impact happens when assessment insights are connected to real conversations, intentional development, practical application, and sustained follow-through.

    Assessment in Action helps ATD Greater Atlanta members move beyond the report and use assessment insights to strengthen people, teams, leaders, and organizations.

      • Independent Consultant Growth Lab Session 5 (Financial Strategy): Why You're Working Hard But Not Seeing the Money

        • 23 Sep 2026
        • 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
        • Virtual Meeting (Link will be provided upon registration)
        • 11

        The Independent Consultant Growth Lab is a 6-part, cohort-style learning experience designed for independent consultants, coaches, and small business owners who are building and growing service-based businesses within the talent development ecosystem.

        This program addresses the most common challenges faced by independent professionals:

        • Inconsistent revenue and limited visibility
        • Operational overwhelm and lack of scalable systems
        • Limited financial clarity and decision-making confidence

        Why You're Working Hard But Not Seeing the Money

        Whether you're considering the leap to independent work or already running your own business, understanding the financial side is what separates "busy" from "profitable." And most people skip this part... not because they don't care, but because nobody breaks it down in a way that actually makes sense.

        Join Stephanie Smith of New Light Financial Solutions for a practical, plain-English conversation about the money side of running a business. This session covers why independent consulting might be more within reach than you think, the financial fundamentals every business owner needs to know (including bookkeeping, tracking, and keeping your books in order), and how to tell the difference between making money and actually keeping it. You'll also learn how to spot what's driving profit in your business and what's quietly working against you.

        No accounting jargon. No spreadsheets full of formulas. Just real financial clarity for anyone who wants to build something that actually pays them what they're worth.

        What attendees will walk away with:

        • A realistic look at the advantages of starting and running your own business
        • An understanding of why bookkeeping and financial tracking matter from day one
        • A clear picture of revenue vs. profit and why the difference matters more than you think
        • How to spot what's actually driving profit (and what's eating into it)
        • Confidence to make better financial decisions, even if numbers have never been your thing

        Facilitated By:

        Stephanie Smith is the founder of New Light Financial Solutions, a bookkeeping and CFO advisory firm built for business owners who want financial clarity without the chaos. A former math teacher turned financial strategist, Stephanie has a gift for making the numbers make sense, whether you're handling your own books or ready to hand them off. She's a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and active Zoho Finance Partner, and her firm's One Clear Path method helps business owners understand the financial drivers that actually move the needle on cash flow and profit. From DIY bookkeeping support to full-service CFO advisory, Stephanie meets business owners where they are and helps them build a business that works for them, not the other way around.

          Target Audience

          • Independent consultants and facilitators
          • Coaches and fractional leaders
          • Small business owners (1–10 employees)
          • Corporate professionals transitioning into consulting
          • L&D practitioners building independent practices

                • Tired of Inconsistent AI Outputs? Build a Repeatable L&D Workflow in One Day

                  A full-day, hands-on AI workshop for learning and development professionals, led by Josh Cavalier, author of Applying AI in Learning and Development: From Platforms to Performance (ATD Press).

                  Includes breakfast, lunch, free parking, and a copy of Josh's book 

                  Pricing starts at $179 for ATD Greater Atlanta members, with discounts for ACE registrants. Full pricing is listed below.

                  Some weeks AI saves you a day. Some weeks it costs you one. What decides which?

                  You open the tool, type something, get something back, adjust, try again. Some days it saves you hours. Other days you spend longer fixing the output than you would have spent writing it yourself. When a colleague asks how you got a good result, you find it hard to explain what you did differently.

                  Inconsistent AI outputs usually come down to method: what context went in, what standard you held the output to, and what you changed when it missed. Once that is explicit, the good weeks stop being luck.

                  Spend one Friday building this method around the work you already do.

                  You will leave with a workflow you can repeat, scale to your team, and defend to a stakeholder.

                  What you will build

                  By 4:00 PM you will have, in your hands and applied to a real project you brought with you:

                  • A working TRACI structure for the kind of AI interaction you run most often, so your prompts produce consistent output with the quality you expect.
                  • Your own Input Stack, an organized set of the context, source material, and constraints your AI needs to produce work you would put your name on.
                  • A repeatable workflow for one L&D task you own, mapped end to end: content development, needs analysis, assessment writing, or whichever task is eating your week.
                  • A quality-control method for evaluating output and diagnosing what to change when results fall short.
                  • A copy of Josh's ATD Press book, so the frameworks stay with you after the room clears.

                            The two frameworks you will learn

                            The TRACI Framework is a structured approach to building AI interactions, developed by Josh Cavalier. It gives learning and development practitioners a repeatable way to specify what an AI system needs in order to return usable work, rather than adjusting prompts by trial and error.

                            The Input Stack is a method for organizing the context an AI system draws on: source documents, audience detail, constraints, examples, and standards. It gives practitioners a consistent foundation so results hold up across different projects.

                            Both frameworks appear in Applying AI in Learning and Development: From Platforms to Performance, published by ATD Press in November 2025.

                            Who this day is built for

                            This workshop assumes you are past the "what is AI" conversation and ready to build capability you can use on Monday.

                            It is a strong fit if you are:

                            • An instructional designer trying to move faster without giving up quality
                            • A solo L&D practitioner wearing ten hats with no time to experiment
                            • A training manager whose organization handed down an AI mandate with no roadmap attached
                            • A team lead who wants a shared method your whole group can use

                            Bring your laptop and bring a real project. You will be working on your own material for most of the day.

                            Frequently asked questions

                            Who is this AI workshop for? This workshop is designed for learning and development professionals in the Atlanta area, including instructional designers, training managers, learning experience designers, and solo L&D practitioners who already use AI tools and want a repeatable workflow.

                            Do I need experience with AI to attend? You should have used a generative AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in your work. The day builds structure around that experience rather than introducing AI from the beginning.

                            What do I need to bring? A laptop and a real project from your own work. Most of the day is spent applying the frameworks to your own material.

                            Where is the workshop held? Mercer University, College of Professional Advancement (Atlanta campus - Specific address provided in registration confirmation email.) Campus parking is free.

                            What is included in the price? Light breakfast, lunch, free parking, and a copy of Applying AI in Learning and Development: From Platforms to Performance by Josh Cavalier.

                            Is there a group rate? Yes. Three (3) seats for $499, available through Friday, September 4. 

                            Can I get a refund? Cancellations received by Friday, September 18 receive a full refund. Cancellations after that date receive a 50% refund. Email info@atdatlanta.org to cancel.

                            Do I have to be an ATD member? No. Non-members are welcome at $225. ATD Greater Atlanta members pay $179. A discount is available for ACE registrants.

                              One table. A conversation worth having.

                              TABLE™ Atlanta is an intimate executive dinner experience bringing together a deliberately curated group of senior talent, learning, people, and organizational leaders for an evening of exceptional food, thoughtful conversation, and meaningful connection.

                              Hosted by The Nelius Strategy in partnership with ATD Greater Atlanta, TABLE™ creates space to move beyond traditional conference networking and into the conversations senior leaders rarely have time or space to explore together.

                              There are no panels. No presentations. No crowded reception.

                              Just one table, a remarkable setting, and a carefully selected group of leaders.

                              Your seat includes:

                              • Curated executive dinner experience
                              • Dinner at The Consulate
                              • Facilitated TABLE™ conversation
                              • Connection with a limited group of senior leaders
                              • TABLE™ experience takeaway

                              Space is intentionally limited.

Join us for the Gameful Design Surveyor Certification (Level 1) — a live, interactive, and hands-on certification experience that will revolutionize the way you create learning experiences.

                                    Why Gameful Design?

                                    Through the lens of LXD, Gameful Design takes on a whole new meaning. No longer are we throwing points, badges, and leaderboards at programs; we now examine the neuro-science of how humans learn through games and play, and apply those principles to our own learning experiences.

                                    Your learners are changing. Their pivotal learning years were not spent in the classrooms of old. Now they want learning experiences that better align with neuroscience and human experiences. To engage them, you will need to adapt.

                                    • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Learn the latest techniques being used internationally in corporate training, eLearning, and instructional design.
                                    • Boost Your Career and Credibility: Earn an industry-recognized Gameful Design Surveyor Certification (Level 1) that sets you apart in your field.
                                    • Enhance Your Training Effectiveness: Transform dull training sessions into engaging, results-driven experiences.
                                    • No Coding, No Tech Headaches: This session focuses on practical application, not technology, making it accessible for all skill levels.

                                    This is the ONLY Gameful Design Certification that earns you recertification* credits with SHRM, HRCI, and ATD.

                                    Agenda

                                    In this 6-hour certification program, you will use an L&D case study as you overlay the 5-step Game the System™ model for gameful design, gather data, and participate in problem-solving and assessment exercises.

                                    An individual who has earned a Gamification Surveyor Certification (Level 1) has received introductory training and demonstrates the necessary understanding of the fundamentals of Gameful Design and has completed basic training in the trademarked and proven model for learning design.

                                    Outcomes

                                    The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology. By adding game mechanics and dynamics to training, Gameful Design not only increases interest, but it also makes training "fun."

                                    At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

                                    • Understand how key concepts found in behavioral psychology and game design can increase learning and engagement

                                    Participants will hear from experienced practitioners, facilitators, coaches, consultants, and assessment providers who will share tools, case examples, implementation strategies, and lessons learned from applying assessments across different industries and organizational environments.

                                    Some sessions may also include information about certification, practitioner credentials, platform access, or pathways for professionals who want to expand their assessment capabilities. Certification is not required to participate, and each session is designed to provide value whether participants are experienced practitioners or simply exploring assessment-based development for the first time.

                                      Program Ownership and Sponsorships

                                      Assessment in Action is an ATD Greater Atlanta program.

                                      The series is sponsored by The Nelius Strategy and may include additional co-sponsors, strategic partners, assessment providers, and guest practitioners.

                                      Participating organizations may contribute educational sessions, practical tools, case studies, demonstrations, certification information, or other learning resources aligned with the goals of the series.

                                        Why This Series Matters

                                        Assessments can create awareness, but awareness alone does not improve performance.

                                        Meaningful impact happens when assessment insights are connected to real conversations, intentional development, practical application, and sustained follow-through.

                                        Assessment in Action helps ATD Greater Atlanta members move beyond the report and use assessment insights to strengthen people, teams, leaders, and organizations.

                                              Tuesday at Noon | Virtual

                                              This session of The High Noon Exchange features the Independent,  Networking & Collaborating Community of Practice, designed for consultants, freelancers, and independent professionals.

                                              Discussion focuses on the realities of independent work (client relationships, scope, boundaries, sustainability, and professional connection) grounded in lived experience rather than hustle culture.

                                              This is a peer space for thoughtful exchange, not selling or pitching.

                                              Kick off the fall season of giving with ATD Greater Atlanta! We’re teaming up with Open Hand Atlanta for a hands-on volunteer session to deliver love, dignity, and nutrition to neighbors in need across our community.

                                              Why volunteer?

                                              • It gives members a chance to network and connect while supporting a vital local non-profit by packing nutritious meals for individuals across Atlanta.
                                              • It puts ATD Greater Atlanta’s name and values into the community in a meaningful, visible way.
                                              • For many members, it can count toward employer volunteer hours.

                                              If you’ve been looking for a way to connect with fellow ATD members and give back to the Greater Atlanta community, this is a perfect chance!

                                              We hope to see you there, and we’re grateful to everyone who helps strengthen ATD Greater Atlanta’s impact.

                                                            This session of The High Noon Exchange features the Learning & Development Community of Practice, bringing together professionals who design, deliver, and lead learning to explore what actually drives performance and capability at work.

                                                            Rather than focusing on tools or deliverables alone, this session centers on real challenges related to learning strategy, instructional impact, stakeholder alignment, and sustainability. Conversation is peer-driven and grounded in lived experience.

                                                              Assessment in Action is an ATD Greater Atlanta learning series designed to help talent development professionals explore how assessments can be used to support individual growth, leadership development, team effectiveness, coaching, career development, and organizational performance.

                                                              The series introduces participants to a range of behavioral, personality, emotional intelligence, leadership, team, and workplace assessment tools. Each session focuses on practical application—helping participants understand not only what an assessment measures, but how its insights can be used responsibly and effectively in real workplace settings.

                                                              Participants will hear from experienced practitioners, facilitators, coaches, consultants, and assessment providers who will share tools, case examples, implementation strategies, and lessons learned from applying assessments across different industries and organizational environments.

                                                              Some sessions may also include information about certification, practitioner credentials, platform access, or pathways for professionals who want to expand their assessment capabilities. Certification is not required to participate, and each session is designed to provide value whether participants are experienced practitioners or simply exploring assessment-based development for the first time.

                                                              Facilitated By:

                                                                Assessment in Action is an ATD Greater Atlanta program.

                                                                The series is sponsored by The Nelius Strategy and may include additional co-sponsors, strategic partners, assessment providers, and guest practitioners.

                                                                Participating organizations may contribute educational sessions, practical tools, case studies, demonstrations, certification information, or other learning resources aligned with the goals of the series.

                                                                All sessions are educational-first. Participation as a sponsor or featured provider does not represent exclusive endorsement by ATD Greater Atlanta.

                                                                  Why This Series Matters

                                                                  Assessments can create awareness, but awareness alone does not improve performance.

                                                                  Meaningful impact happens when assessment insights are connected to real conversations, intentional development, practical application, and sustained follow-through.

                                                                  Assessment in Action helps ATD Greater Atlanta members move beyond the report and use assessment insights to strengthen people, teams, leaders, and organizations.
