Two members of the 2025 Thinkers50 Radar Class are speaking at ATD's 2025 International Conference & Exposition in Washington, DC.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Two members of the prestigious Thinkers50 Radar Class of 2025—a list featuring 30 people whose ideas will help shape the future of organizations and leadership—will speak at the Association for Talent Development's 2025 International Conference & Exposition, May 18–19, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

In a Sunday Super Session, Dr. Selina Neri, CEO, dean, and founder of the Institute for Future Readiness, will explore how to nurture future-ready talent to propel employees and organizations forward. This session is open to all attendees. She will also speak at a smaller, exclusive, invite-only session for talent development (TD) leaders.

At a Monday Super Session, Dr. Hitendra Wadhwa, a researcher at Columbia Business School, will tap into his research, teachings, and experiments at Columbia Business School and the Mentora Institute on the behavioral skills needed to create high performance. The session will approach high performance not as a trait to be acquired but as a state to be activated. This session is open to all attendees. He will also speak at a smaller, exclusive, invite-only session for TD leaders and executives.

"We are pleased to welcome these two leading thinkers to ATD25," says Tony Bingham, ATD president and CEO. "ATD's partnership with Thinkers50 in support of the Radar Class of 2025 has provided new opportunities to share emergent ideas with the global talent development community.
