CONNECT. GROW. LEARN
Back by popular demand!
Now in its 19th year, the Chief Learning Officer and Chief Talent Officer (CLO/CTO) Breakfast Club event series continues to connect leaders over breakfast to strengthen the link between L&D, talent management and business strategy.
In 2022, we introduced a new format to this popular series hosted by Chief Learning Officer and Chief Talent Officer. The format features regular virtual mini-events starring top learning and talent leaders. In response to the incredible reception of 2022, we are pleased to continue this format this year.
Each mini-event lasts about two hours and consists of a 60-minute panel discussion with L&D and talent practitioners, a 20-minute FASTtalk presentation and a 20-minute research segment, garnering real-time data from attendees and prompting discussion of the day's themes, followed by closing remarks from Chief Learning Officer and Chief Talent Officer's editorial staff.

Growing Skills with a Commercial Mindset
As CLOs strive to equip their workforce with the skills needed for an uncertain future, helping individuals establish a commercial mindset — or allowing them to clearly see how their work aligns with business objectives and serves the end goal — can be a driving force in employee motivation and engagement. It's not just about having the skills to do one's job well; it's about each individual contributing collectively to the success and goals of the business.
Join this Chief Learning Officer Breakfast Club to hear from leaders who are executing this effort in their own firms, ensuring that the work of their learners is in furtherance of corporate objectives.
