Welcome to 2010! Best wishes for a happy New Year to each of you. Today I'd like to share some ideas to help you make your own professional development part of your New Year's resolutions. As an HRD or learning professional, you help shape the future of organizations worldwide by developing today's workforce - and ASTD would like to help you shape your own professional development.

Resolution #1

Attend the ASTD International Conference & Exposition. ASTD 2010 is the premier opportunity to learn, innovate, and network with the training and HRD communities. Each year, ASTD welcomes more than 8,000 participants to the conference from 70+ countries. With more than 200 educational sessions, there is something for everyone!

ASTD 2010 will be held in Chicago, IL on May 16-19, with certificate programs starting on May 13 and preconference workshops starting on May 15. New this year - we have created a special International Reception to welcome our international participants. Join us in Chicago for your annual training and networking reunion.
