ATD Chicagoland is strengthened by organizations and individuals who believe in connection, professional growth, and community-centered learning. We are proud to recognize our current community partners and welcome future sponsors who want to support meaningful talent development across the region.
Our 2026 Sponsors
ATD Chicagoland Sponsors help make programming, connection, and learning experiences possible for talent development professionals across the region. We are grateful for the organizations that choose to invest in this community.
TrainingPros
For more than 25 years, TrainingPros has served the training, eLearning, and technical writing communities, providing qualified learning and development consultants on a contract basis.
When you have more projects than people™, TrainingPros provides the right L&D consultant to start your project with confidence — from instructional designers and eLearning developers to facilitators, project managers, and executive coaches.
Our Community Partners
Community Partners are mission-aligned organizations — fellow 501(c)(3) nonprofits and like-minded professional communities — that ATD Chicagoland supports through reciprocal, in-kind collaboration. These are not sponsorships. We exchange visibility, cross-promote events, and show up for one another’s work because we share a commitment to learning, connection, and stronger workplaces across the region.
HR HotSeat
HR HotSeat is an inclusive mastermind community of real HR professionals solving real HR problems. The community is built around helping HR pros grow, build, innovate, achieve, and serve through meaningful peer connection and shared problem-solving.
Founded by Erich Kurschat, HR HotSeat creates space for HR practitioners and people-focused professionals to connect around the challenges and opportunities shaping better workplaces.
