EXLEARN 2023 was a smash hit at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park. The sixth annual conference for L&D and talent professionals was our largest yet, with two days of networking, fun, and impactful workshops hosted by TiER1 Performance Institute and valued partners.
EXLEARN isn’t your typical work conference — it’s packed with learning and lots of fun, too. It’s an unforgettable experience and one that attendees come back to again and again.
The theme for 2023 was strategy activation for the whole human. EXLEARN was an experience that incorporated all five senses – from tasting chocolates from Ilan’s Raw Chocolate to touching the therapy animals from Pet Partners of Greater Cincinnati to seeing the captivating designs in Brandon Hill’s In Fly We Trust coloring books.
Thought leaders from organizations like Avēsis, Fifth Third Bank, Kroger, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Takeda, and more showcased various projects. Session topics were broken into three main categories: Enabling Technology, Evolving L&D, and Thriving Organizations. Within these categories, session topics included empowering leaders, culture and belonging, storytelling through generative AI, and leveling up learning.
Leaders in the L&D, HR, talent, and change spaces attended EXLEARN 2023. Participants joined from a variety of organizations including Cintas, Fisher Homes, McDonald’s, Philips Healthcare, Roche, Sherwin-Williams, Total Quality Logistics, YMCA of Greater Cincinnati, and more.
During EXLEARN, attendees helped build 140 backpack kits through Crayons to Computers, a Cincinnati-based organization dedicated to ensuring that teachers can provide their students in need with the tools to succeed in school. Giving back is such an integral part of TiER1’s culture and we’re thankful to have a network that cares about it just as much as we do.
