MTMImpact Symposium 2021
Chicago, IL, USA
July 28-30, 2021
The MTMImpact Symposium is evolving to meet changing workforce talent needs. At its core, it remains the industry’s premiere event for HR L&D leaders, professionals, and learning providers – particularly those professionals who are using Explorance’s MTM and Blue suite of products and solutions. Based on feedback from attendees of the MTMImpact 2020 Virtual Experience, the 2021 symposium expands its topic coverage to include a selection of broader talent capability and innovation, re-imagining a post-COVID future. MTMImpact Community members and Explorance team members (Explorers) will share ways to measure, report and act on data collected from a variety of HR and L&D efforts to continuously optimize an organization’s employee journey and learning measurement capability, while adapting to accelerated changes. Come a few days earlier to participate in a BEC, LMCC, or MRMC training camp to become a certified Blue Expert, certified Learning Measurement Champion, or MTM Report Master.
Bundle & Save! Special promo ends April 30, 2021. Early Bird discount ends April 30, 2021.

Your conference registration helps local charities. Explorance is committing a $18,000 donation to local charities, and conference attendees will determine the allocation of this donation. Three local charities have been identified to receive a portion of the $18,000 commitment. At the time of registration, attendees will vote for their preferred charity. The $18,000 donation will be allocated as follows:
- #1 most selected charity: $10,000
- #2 most selected charity: $5,000
- #3 most selected charity: $3,000
Please select one of the charities below during the registration process.
Black Women’s Blueprint: Black Women’s Blueprint envisions a world where women and girls of African descent are fully empowered and where gender, race and other disparities are erased. We work to place Black women and girls’ lives, as well as their particular struggles, squarely within the context of the larger racial justice concerns of Black communities. We are committed to building movements where gender matters in broader social justice organizing so that all members of our communities gain social, political and economic equity. We engage in progressive research, historical documentation, policy advocacy and organizing steeped in the struggles of Black women within their diverse communities and within dominant culture.
Dreams for Kids: Dreams for Kids replaces charity with opportunity. We develop young social entrepreneurs through practical education and mentorship so they can turn their ideas into impact. Our Dream Leaders are young social entrepreneurs who turn their ideas into impact and help create the future today. We engage students with volunteer service, leadership conferences, and fundraising opportunities and provide practical education through our digital social entrepreneurship curriculum that drives student learning into the world and is delivered by teachers in class and supported by mentors beyond school.
Growing Home: We have a vision of a world of healthy people and communities. Everyone deserves to have a good job, and everyone deserves to eat well. That’s why we’ve been helping people find meaningful careers through skills learned while farming since 2002. We start people on the path to self-sufficiency. When people have jobs, they have economic stability in their lives; this stability allows for healthy people and families. But we don’t stop there: we use our unique model to impact neighborhoods with the greatest need. That’s why our farms are located in Englewood, a community on the South side of Chicago that has been under-served for decades and has extremely high rates of unemployment and poverty, hundreds of acres of vacant lots, and a distinct lack of healthy food choices.
A value of $12,000 in door prizes will be awarded at the conference. All attendees will be automatically entered to win one of these valuable prizes.
- Attendance to the MTMImpact 2022 Symposium, including airfare, lodging, and conference registration – 3 winners
- An all-inclusive “Explorance Immersion Tour Trip” to visit Montreal and the Explorance headquarters during the Montreal Jazz Festival – 1 winner

GETTING AROUND
Did you know? Chicago is a walking city with an easy-to-navigate downtown grid. Madison Street divides the city north and south, while State Street divides it east and west. The State/Madison intersection marks the origin of Chicago’s address grid system. Addresses are relative to the distance from that mark, with eight blocks to every mile. So an address of 3600 North Clark means that it is 36 blocks north of Madison.
