We’re thrilled to announce ✨Kassy LaBorie as the keynote speaker for this year’s ND ATD Fall Summit.

Kassy is known for bringing energy, creativity, and a deeply engaging approach to learning experiences, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome her to Fargo!

More Human Than Ever is more than a traditional keynote. Kassy creates an interactive experience that invites the audience to become part of the message through moments of reflection, participation, connection, surprise, and shared discovery.

Participants leave not with a message about resisting technology, but with an invitation to embrace what technology makes possible while becoming even more intentional about the qualities only we can bring.

The future isn't about becoming less human to keep up with technology. It's about becoming more human than ever.

Attend the keynote to get inspired! Attend the Full Program to learn and connect with your colleagues and continue learning with Kassy’s afternoon workshop: You are the Experience – What your audience actually responds to.

In this highly interactive and thoughtfully designed session, participants experience firsthand what truly captures attention, builds connection, and invites participation.

Through a series of intentional moments, participants explore five specific experiences that consistently spark audience response and how to bring them to life using the tools already available to them.

Our ND ATD community creates connections that continue long after the event ends. Kassy’s presence is going to make this year’s experience even more memorable.

Professional Development Session: Before, During, After: Reflection Strategies for Learning That Lasts (Wednesday, November 18, 2026)

Wed, 18 Nov 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Before, During, After: Reflection Strategies for Learning That Lasts

What if everything you know about reflection is backwards? Most of us save it for the end—a quick debrief, maybe a plus/delta. But our brains forget fast, and by the time we ask "So, what did you learn?" most of it is already gone. Weave reflection before, during, and after the learning, and you work with the brain, not against it. Participants retain more, apply it faster, and remember what matters. You'll walk away knowing why WHEN you reflect matters as much as what you reflect on.

After attending this session, you will be able to:

Add reflection activities at three points in your training: before learning starts (pre-flection), during the session, and after for follow-up.
Choose at least 3 proven reflection techniques (like Four Corners, retrieval practice, or spaced reflection) aligned with your content.
Practice retrieval and reflection methods that support retention.
