Conference on Creating a Future-Ready Workforce Concludes in Las Vegas

CHICAGO, April 03, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CLO Symposium Spring 2019 wrapped up today at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa. With more than 300 corporate educators and talent management professionals in attendance, the three-day executive summit focused on strategies, tactics and tools for creating a skilled workforce capable of staying competitive into the future.

Developed and hosted by Chief Learning Officer magazine, the Symposium drew leaders from around the globe who are grappling with both the immediate and long-term effects of disruptive technologies, changing business models, and even cultural shifts on workforce learning and leadership development.

"Remaining keenly competitive — not just competent — has become increasingly more challenging for any business or organization," said Mike Prokopeak, editor in chief of Human Capital Media (HCM), which publishes the magazine. "A forward-looking learning strategy is absolutely necessary. This Symposium allowed corporate education executives a unique opportunity to discover emerging technologies, discuss the evolution of learning delivery, plus share insights on user experience, performance metrics, anticipated skills gaps and more."

The three-day program included keynotes from best-selling authors and business innovators, as well as educational sessions examining not only issues of concern to learning leaders but also actionable solutions based on real-world case studies and best practices. On opening night of the conference, the magazine also revealed the prestigious 2019 CLO LearningElite at a gala reception honoring global organizations using exceptional L&D practices to create business value. Diamond Sponsors for the Symposium were DeVryWORKS and Principled Technologies.

Professionals throughout the industry will have another chance to experience select sessions from the live event by registering for on-demand access to the online CLO Symposium Video Library. New content will be added to the library each week, beginning April 29.

The CLO Symposium is held in the spring and fall in different locations each year. The next one will take place in Chicago at the Swissotel, Oct. 14-16. For this conference, the program will pivot from an emphasis on the latest trends and technologies to targeted professional development and power networking for L&D executives dealing with a rapidly evolving corporate role.
