2026 ATD Austin Talent Development Summit

From Leading to Building

Moving Beyond the Blueprint

About "From Leading to Building"

Great ideas need more than a plan. They need people willing to build.

This year’s Talent Development Summit is about moving from vision to action. Moving Beyond the Blueprint explores what happens after the strategy is set and the plan is on paper: the work of turning ideas into programs, practices, systems, and cultures that make a lasting impact.

Throughout the Summit, we’ll focus on the real work of building in talent development. That means practical approaches you can put to use, honest conversations about what works and what doesn’t, and opportunities to learn alongside other professionals navigating similar challenges.

This isn’t just a day to collect ideas. It’s a day to work with them.

Come ready to explore, collaborate, and build what’s next.
