Happy new year! And so long to a tumultuous 2021.
By now we’re all pros at working from home — and so are most of the conference organizers we follow with this blog.

There’s a sense of optimism on all the conference websites, which is just what we need for 2022!
Whether you plan to take your chances and hop on a plane — or attend from your kitchen table in your jammies — there are tons of conferences on the 2022 conference slate.
And if travel isn’t in your plans this year, don’t forget the wide-ranging lists of free L&D webinars we publish each month — quick hits of inspiration packaged into one-hour bites.
