ISA-ALPs’ most expansive and valued in-person member programming benefit is our Annual Business Retreat (ABR).

In times of rapid change, leaders in learning
and development are the weavers of clarity,
resilience, and growth.

Now more than ever, founders, owners, CEOs, and Presidents should attend with their strategic departmental leaders to align the company mission with the future sustainability of the business (and, we have kept registration at 2024 rates to support this effort).

Empower more of your departmental leaders to strengthen business sustainability, leverage technology, and drive organizational strategy.

  • Engage with industry peers to spark actionable roadmaps and playbooks
  • Build lasting peer networks through RAFT, groups and iSA-ALP member benefits for agile,lean responses to business obstacles
