How does LDA distinguish itself from other L&D Professional Organizations?

Great question. Look, we are going to make a lot of the same claims the other groups make. The proof-- as they say-- will be in the pudding. But here are a few I know we can prove immediately. Take a look at the folks we have involved on the Executive Board. These are many of the most significant thought leaders in the industry... all in one place. And together, we are making evidence-based and research-aligned practices a major priority. No pseudo-science. No-vendor supported research.

Another issue many organizations have... what do you get for your membership fees? Discounts, of course. But, not much else. With LDA, we have monthly membership events, a plethra of content available on January 2, 2021, access to thought leaders who will host small-group sessions, and more.

And, yes... we will have lots of content, but we will stress community interaction and member-driven dialogue. We will foster interaction over static materials.

Finally, we are truly a global endeavor, with members and experts literally from every continent on the planet (except Antarctica). And we are not talking about a token few. Our distribution is pretty diverse. Anyway, those are just a few way we differentiate.

My membership is set to automatically renew in one year. Can I cancel?

You certainly can. We hope you won't, but if you choose to do so, you can easily manage your membership account through your profile.

I am having technical problems. Who can I contact?

There are two ways to get help:

  • Email Matt at matthew@thiagi.com. He's happy to help out.
  • Call us at 415-385-7248. Leave a message and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Can I see what programs are offered before I choose to sign up?

On January 2, we will post all the scheduled programs to the public, identify whether they are member-only, or if they are also open to the public. We will also continue to add programming throughout the year. The schedule can be found under STUFF via the navigation menu at the top of this page.

The LDC conference providing an authentic learning experience, keyword "learning", it wasn't a show and tell. The duration, the connections made were authentic and full of rich conversations. I am already looking forward to the next one in 2021.
