A friendly wave. A warm smile. A playful fist bump. A hearty handshake. A heartfelt hug. All were on display as nearly 1,200 Learning and Development (L&D) professionals gathered in person for the first time in more than two years for the Training 2022 Conference & Expo at Disney\u2019s Coronado Springs Resort in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Training Conference was just the boost I needed,\u201d one attendee admitted. \u201cI came, I learned, I networked, and I came back to work energized by the advice and encouragement from my peers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keynotes focusing on happiness, creativity, and inspiration ignited that spark for attendees. They then found plenty of opportunity to learn from and collaborate with each other during 100-plus breakout sessions, eight certificate programs, 11 hands-on clinics, and a gather around mixer event, plus a plethora of experiences on the Expo floor, including: Learning Stage presentations, Innovations in Training Immersive Lab demos, vendor conversations, chats at the Winners\u2019 Caf\u00e9, and lawn games. Co-located events GamiCon and the Learning Leaders Summit offered additional face-to-face time and dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2022 Training Conference is the best place for all people within the L&D field to broaden their thought process, be introduced to training opportunities they did not know existed, and hone skills they already use to enhance the capability of training within their organizations,\u201d an attendee noted. \u201cGreat things can happen when you remove the limits of your mind!\u201d<\/p>\n

KEYNOTE QUOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cWe say, \u2018I\u2019ll be happy when I get that degree or job, get the COVID-19 vaccine, get married, have children, etc.\u2019 But every time you have success, your brain moves the goalpost. So success is a continually moving target. We need to have a conversation around what leads to happiness. We need to raise the feelings of optimism, social connection, and positive emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Shawn Achor, Positive Psychologist and Author, \u201cThe Happiness Advantage\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cLet curiosity be your dowsing rod. It\u2019s OK to go down a rabbit hole on the Internet, for example. You can\u2019t plan to be unexpectedly fascinated by something. Explore. Ask questions. I\u2019d rather have the heartbreak of failure or being told, \u2018No,\u2019 than always wondering if I could have done something.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Dessa, Singer, Rapper, Writer, and Host of podcast Deeply Human<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cInspiration is life fuel. It opens you up so the excitement about an idea overrides the fear of failure. Inspiration is contagious. Once you ignite the spark, feed it and let it grow. And pass it on to pay the inspiration forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
