IMPACT! CHOLearning 2026 The Community of Human and Organizational Learning’s 32nd Annual Learning Conference!
From June 22nd to 26th, our gathering at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, promises four immersive days packed with insights, innovation, and collaboration. Start the week with an array of workshops on Monday, kickstarting an enriching week, and explore the Co-Located workshops on Friday for a deeper dive into specialized topics.
Be sure to mark the workshops you plan to attend. We use this to help the presenters prepare and ensure we have the proper accommodations for everyone.
Log in to add sessions to your schedule and sync them to your phone or calendar.
This is your first opportunity to mingle if you’re a newcomer. Or, to take a newcomer under your wing if you’re a return attendee. Community starts on day 1!
Join us for our Monday Mixer. This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the week's activities, meet a Community Mentor, and make plans for your Wednesday and Thursday evening activities.
Don't forget to wear your badge. This is a great opportunity for you to register for the conference and meet the Support Team. There is a drink ticket in your registration packet.

Join us for the Awards and Welcome Reception, CHOLearning’s biggest and most elaborate social event of the week. This special evening brings our community together to celebrate the people whose leadership, service, and impact continue to shape the future of Human and Organizational Learning.
During the reception, we will induct our third Hall of Fame class, announce the 2026 CHOLearning Fellows, and present the Distinguished Service Award. Guests will enjoy food, cocktails, games, networking, and plenty of time to reconnect with familiar faces while welcoming new members into the community.
Join our Director of Engagement on Thursday morning for the first-ever meeting of the Community Running Club. Start your last conference day off right with a casual group run/walk. We’ll start at the hotel and work our way through a fun, all-fitness-level, 1-mile route.
Be sure to swing by the registration desk for a map of the route.
“In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.” — Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
