The End of Sit-and-Listen

The End of Sit-and-Listen

Designing the Future of Conferences

Traditional conferences are broken—overstuffed with passive content, low on connection, and failing to deliver real learning outcomes.

In this 60-minute virtual workshop, join experience design expert Jenny Sauer-Klein to explore why the “sit-and-listen” model no longer serves today’s workforce—and what Learning & Development leaders can do instead. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to design events that engage, inspire, and drive meaningful change.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify what’s not working in your current conferences or offsites

  • Apply experiential learning principles to large-scale events

  • Craft intentional agendas that spark interaction and engagement

  • Create space for real connection, reflection, and insight

Let’s reimagine what’s possible—together.
