As we start the new year, many Learning and Development practitioners and business unit managers will be reviewing their team's skill sets for any gaps in knowledge, and searching for the right trainers and coaches to assist their staffs. Some may be even facing frozen or reduced L&D budgets, making it essential to understand how to make the most of your training budget this year.

Join Senior Consultants John Dorris and Dr. Laurie Underwood at the American Chamber Learning & Development Fair. They will host and lead two roundtables on Intercultural and Global Leadership and Crisis Management. 

The fair is a chance to meet our team as well as different AmCham Shanghai training partners. There will be two rooms devoted to roundtable discussions and small sharing sessions like those led by Dr. Underwood and John to allow attendees to engage with experts on a more personal level.
