Each year, international attendees from over 70 countries flock to the ASTD International Conference & Exposition. This year, our international delegations and attendees are getting ready to gather in Dallas, Texas  for another unforgettable learning experience. It isn’t easy preparing for such a trip, as some have to make sure their visa applications are submitted and approved on time, flight reservations confirmed, accommodations secured, and their special events and meetings scheduled…all before April. It goes without saying that international attendees are ASTD superstars. 

What has attracted the international attendees to the ASTD International Conference & Exposition year after year? Well, let’s take a look at what our international attendees experienced last year.

Robin and Juanita Probart travel from South Africa annually to attend the ASTD International Conference & Exposition. This year will be their 26th conference! Here’s why they attend every year:

“\[We\] recommend ASTD International Conference & Exhibition to \[our\] colleagues because...this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our delegates, travelling so far, to be updated on the latest best practices, research, and to meet the current authors and gurus in the field of HRD.”

ASTD does our best to welcome our guests from afar. We offer an international orientation, international reception, and many other unique opportunities to provide international attendees with amazing experiences and valuable takeaways. About 50 international delegations have signed up for this year’s ASTD International Conference & Exposition so far, and they are excited and ready to learn.

If you do join us in Dallas, please drop by the Global Village, a special haven for international attendees and ASTD International staff members.

We look forward to seeing you in Dallas, where learning is happening across borders!
