Where Does Your Talent and L&D Function Actually Stand?

Indianapolis Learning & Talent Leaders Breakfast: What It Takes to Lead Learning & Talent of the Future

Join Cognota for an exclusive, invitation-only breakfast for senior L&D and Talent leaders who are ready to operate the future of Learning & Talent and make resources available to execute work where they seem impossible.

Set at The Capital Grille, a private dining room inside one of Indianapolis’ most established steakhouses, this private gathering brings together a small group of peers for a morning of candid, off-the-record conversation — featuring a firsthand perspective from a senior Learning & Talent leader inside a major enterprise.

No presentations. No pitches. Just a guided discussion with people navigating the same pressures.
