My top picks include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Variables and Advanced Actions in Adobe Captivate by Yewande Daniele-Ayoade &#8211; This would have been a great Bring Your Own Laptop (BYOL) to enhance my current Adobe Captivate knowledge base.<\/li>\n<li>Professional Portfolio Primer: Build, Brand, and Empower Your Career by John DiMarco &#8211; It&#8217;s always great to encourage professional development and expand your career, so this would have been a nice primer as portfolios can be incredibly powerful.<\/li>\n<li>How to Convince your Manager or Stakeholders to Adopt Virtual Classroom Tools and Training by Karen Hyder &#8211; This will be a great session for anyone struggling with convincing anyone else of the impending need and demand of e-learning. Sometimes it can be a tricky sell, but the benefits are huge!<\/li>\n<li>Quick and Dirty Needs Assessment 101 by Brad Minor &#8211; I once conducted some very detailed research on needs assessments, and feel my research made me a bit jaded, so I feel like some quick and dirty tips would do well to restore my faith \ud83d\ude1b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the concurrent sessions, I am most sad about missing out on two certificate programs in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Accidental Instructional Designer by Cammy Bean &#8211; I&#8217;ve been reading Cammy&#8217;s blog for awhile now and admire her. Because my own path to Instructional Design has been paved accidentally, it would have been great to attend this program.<\/li>\n<li>Using Advanced Features of Articulate Storyline to Build Complex Learning Modules by Ron Price &#8211; As I work extensively within Articulate Storyline, this would have been a great program to attend in order to leverage my full potential within the tool &#8211; maybe next year!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The conference is fast approaching, and I look forward to reading everyone&#8217;s conference updates next month &#8211; have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First and foremost, I am so grateful to Kory for getting my site up and running, I&#8217;m looking forward to adapting it as I move forward in my business ventures.
