Transform Talent for the Digital Age
Leading Transformation in Kingdom’s Talent Development WITH EFFECTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
17-18, November 2025 | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Welcome to the Association of Talent Development (ATD) conference in KSA!
Welcome to the 8th Annual ATD Saudi Arabia Conference 2025, where we ignite the spirit of curiosity to explore new horizons in learning. The Middle East’s learning and development landscape is rapidly evolving, transforming the journey of learning into a powerful experience that reshapes individuals and organizations alike.
In this ever-changing environment, traditional approaches to workplace learning are giving way to innovative technologies, shifting societal demands, and evolving educational strategies.
As we embark on this transformative path, the future of learning shines with limitless potential. Together, we will connect with the leading voices in Learning & Development to challenge conventions, cultivate a culture of lifelong curiosity, and embrace failures as steppingstones toward greater growth and success.
THIS YEAR WE ARE SET TO SURPRISE YOU WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST!
