All-Employee Day of Learning
Friday, January, 15, 2027
8:30 am - 12:00 pm
This year’s theme, "Make room for wonder - Pause. Notice. Imagine. Play.", invites us to step back from our daily routines, reframe our perspectives, and explore new ideas together.
To bring this theme to life, we are asking all presenters to build a "play" or hands-on interactive component into their sessions. Whether through gamified learning, collaborative problem-solving, creative exercises, or live demonstrations, we want sessions that get participants actively engaged, experimenting, and connecting.
Check out the CTL Professional Development Calendar to find learning sessions that fit your goals, and add them straight to your personal calendar!
