Conference Daily interviews Edward Dorsey, acting branch director of customer outreach and employee development at the National Institutes of Health.

Meet your fellow attendees as the Conference Daily interviews learning industry professionals at ATD24. In this seventh article in the series, we interview Edward Dorsey, acting branch director of customer outreach and employee development at the National Institutes of Health.

On why he’s attending his first ATD International Conference & EXPO: My division director is here, and he suggested it because we’re doing a lot of things with instructional design and trying to improve on our performance and things like that. So, we want to come out and see what it’s all about. \[We’ve\] been learning a lot so far.

On an interesting session: I just left one on helping people with learning disabilities \[with Maureen C. Orey, CPTD\] by adding more audio descriptors into the videos and things like that. I’m actually looking for the book on that now. It also, it gave me some other thoughts.

On what he’s looking forward to: Everything! Just everything. I’m just soaking it all in since this is my first time.
