• Track: Training Techniques "The Practicals" - Bye Bye Boring
-- Rick Maranto, Phillips 66
Tired of training sessions that feel more like nap time than learning time? Say goodbye to boring and hello to bold! In this energizing session, Rico Maranto, a learning and development professional with over 30 years’ experience, will show you how to break free from the traditional teach-activity-evaluate rut and transform your learning environments into dynamic, brain-friendly experiences that make learning stick!
Grounded in the science of how adults learn best, this session will explore how to design engaging, activity-based learning that sparks curiosity, energizes the learners, deepens understanding, and boosts retention. You’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use methods that you can implement immediately—no overhaul required.
Whether you're a new trainer learning the craft or a seasoned facilitator hoping to breathe new life into your sessions, this is your invitation to reimagine learning so you can say, “Bye bye boring!”
Upon completion of this session, you will be able to:
Reorder the traditional learning model to optimize learning.
Shift thinking from “What do I say?” to “What can they do?”
Resolve to never teach a list!
Apply brain science to make learning stick!
• Track: AI Track - AI for Training (WIP title)
-- Brent Railey, CPChem
As is obvious to everyone, AI is all the buzz and the hype these days. This brings both excitement at the possibilities and frustration with the hype and overselling of current capabilities. In this session, Brent Railey will distill what’s hype and what’s reality, discuss present capability (and limitations) from future vision, and outline how to evaluate possible vendors for AI capability in the domains of training, learning, and development.
• Track: Leaders/Leadership – Human Performance: The importance of getting to know the work. (REPEAT)
-- Antonio Amador, Chevron Phillips Chemical
By adopting a HP perspective, organizations can create a more supportive and safer work environment that acknowledges human limitations and leverages them to build stronger, more resilient systems.
