Discover ATD Intensive

ATD Intensive is a virtual, cohort-based experience designed for L&D professionals who want to build real skills with AI—not just talk about it.

Expect interactive sessions, customized resources, and a hands-on Hackathon where you’ll collaborate and practice applying what you’ve learned in real time. Leave with practical strategies, new connections, and the confidence to lead AI-powered change in your organization.
