Superhero Booth Experience

Our booth was a vibrant epicenter of energy, drawing in people from all corners. Visitors were inspired to embrace their L&D superpower and were greeted by our enthusiastic team and publishers showcasing our latest advancements and sparking engaging conversations. Visitors were also given a chance to win incredible prizes through our hoodie giveaway, including Apple watches, iPads, and Starbucks gift cards. Congratulations to all the lucky winners!

Simon Product Announcement

One of the biggest highlights of ATD 2023 was our session unveiling Simon, the course creation platform that lets you create and translate courses to reach diverse workforces.

Our Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder, Josh Blank took the stage alongside Cody Winn, Director of Product Experiences at TED@Work to explore the superpower of inclusive learning. The crowd was captivated by the live product demo by Peggy MacDonald, Senior Product Manager, who demonstrated how to easily create high-quality training that is accessible to everyone. Then Cody Winn shared how TED@Work turned hundreds of TED Talks into beautiful, translated, and localized courses that transcend language barriers and empower learners worldwide.

If you couldn’t make the session, don’t worry! You can learn more about Simon and sign up for our exclusive early access program.
