We are inviting students, emerging professionals, experienced practitioners, senior leaders, and members of the broader talent development community to volunteer at the 2026 ATD NYC Micro-Conference.
Whether you want to meet new people, contribute your experience, build your network, or simply support an important community event, there is a place for you on the volunteer team.
Help create a welcoming experience for speakers, attendees, and partners throughout the Micro-Conference.
Volunteer opportunities may include event preparation, guest support, session assistance, hospitality, and other activities that help the conference run smoothly.
Since its launch, the Micro-Conference has grown into one of the most anticipated days on the ATD NYC annual calendar. Each year, we raise the bar: more sessions, stronger speakers, and a larger community of talent development professionals coming together to learn and connect.
The first ATD NYC Micro-Conference established what would become our chapter’s flagship event. We brought together talent development professionals for sessions and conversation, planting the foundation for everything that followed.
Year two raised the bar on speaker caliber and grew our attendance, deepening the sense of community that makes the Micro-Conference distinct. The room reflected a growing appetite for concentrated, high-quality professional development.
Year three saw the Micro-Conference grow in both size and scope. We expanded the number and variety of sessions, doubled attendance again, and continued to build an event that delivers more every year.
Connect with the people, ideas, and experiences shaping the future of talent development. Reserve your seat and join us for our most ambitious Micro-Conference yet.
