July Virtual Working Session (16 Jul 2026)

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 19:30:00 GMT

The ATD Nebraska Monthly Working Session is a recurring, 90-minute virtual co-working experience designed to give members a dedicated time and space to work on real talent development work, strategy, and tasks together. These sessions will create an environment where members simply:

Log into Zoom
Work on their own projects
Ask real-time questions
Share ideas
Learn from peers in the moment

This addresses a growing challenge within our profession. Many Talent Development professionals are remote, isolated, and lack nearby peers to collaborate with day-to-day. This working session provides:

Community
Real-time support
Practical problem-solving
Relationship-building
