This year, ATD Kansas City invites you to join us in giving back.

Together, we can strengthen our learning community and

make a lasting impact in the Kansas City community.

Book Swap

Grow our Learning Community

Bring a favorite talent development–related book (aligned with the ATD Talent Development Capability Model) and swap with peers. Whether it’s on instructional design, coaching, learning sciences, change management, leadership, or personal development, your book could inspire another professional. Walk away with fresh perspectives—and maybe a new favorite read.

Connections to Success

Support our KC Community

We’re partnering with Connections to Success, an organization that empowers individuals and families to break the cycle of poverty through hope, resources, mentoring, professional attire, and career development.

What to Bring:

• Professional attire: suits, slacks, shirts, ties, belts, dress shoes, accessories
• New essentials: trouser socks, pantyhose
• Gift cards: food or gas
• Plus, additional needs on the Connections to Success Wish List (no need to order from Amazon—it’s just a guide)

HOW TO GIVE: Bring your books an donations with you and

drop off at the registration desk when you check in.

TOGETHER, let's make this gathering more than an event;

let's grow ourselves and open doors for others.
