We’re thrilled to introduce ATD’s newest member benefit, the ATD Community! Designed exclusively for members, this online space is all about making meaningful connections, gaining insights, and building your professional network in talent development. Whether you’re a long-time member or new to ATD, the community offers a fresh way to engage and explore alongside fellow professionals.

What Is the Community?

The ATD Community is an active, members-only platform that empowers talent development professionals to connect and grow together. In this space, you’ll find a wide range of tools and resources designed to enrich your learning and support you at every stage of your career. Members have exclusive access to dedicated spaces where they can share ideas, ask questions, and discuss the latest trends in talent development. Whether you’re looking to dive into new topics or build your professional network, the ATD Community has something for everyone.

“I’ve been waiting for the ATD Community my whole work life. One of my favorite things about having a career in talent development is the people. TD professionals are some of the most creative, strategic, resilient, and downright fun people in the world. I joined ATD to connect with other talent development nerds through courses, conferences, and my local chapter. The relationships I have built within the TD community have been career-building, imposter-syndrome-busting, and life-affirming. ATD’s Community has expanded the relationship possibilities exponentially, all without me having to figure out what to wear. Brilliant!”

—Wendy Picard, CPTD®

Groups

The heart of our community is the General Community Chat. In this main hub, ATD members can gather to discuss a range of topics, share insights, and connect across different areas of interest. It’s an open space for any member to jump into conversations, get quick feedback, and expand their professional network. Alongside the General Community Chat, we also offer a growing number of groups that are organized around specific interests and talent development topics, allowing you to personalize your community experience.

Community Events

The ATD Community offers exclusive events designed to help ATD members learn, share, and connect. From webinars to “Ask Me Anything” events, these events are a great way to stay ahead of trends, discover new tools, and expand your professional network within the ATD Community.

Member-Curated Resource Library

The ATD Community includes a member-curated Resource Library, where members can share resources, tools, and insights drawn from their expertise. This growing library reflects the collective knowledge of our community, offering practical materials to help address challenges, stay informed on industry trends, and support your ongoing professional development.

Earn Badges for Your Engagement

As you engage in the ATD Community, you’ll have opportunities to earn badges that celebrate your involvement. Whether you’re contributing to discussions, building connections, or sharing valuable insights, these badges highlight your achievements and encourage others to follow your lead. Every step you take brings you closer to new milestones, helping you climb to new heights in the ATD Community.
