ATD’s technology conference will help talent development professionals navigate this new world of work.
(Alexandria, Virginia), November 7, 2023—LeVar Burton, recipient of 12 Emmy Awards, a Grammy, and five NAACP Awards, will speak at Techknowledge 2024—the Association for Talent Development’s three-day, immersive experience for TD professionals who are passionate about embracing the ever-evolving world of learning technologies. The conference will be held February 7-9, 2024, in Los Angeles, California.
Burton, best known for his roles of Kunta Kinte in the landmark television series Roots and of chief engineer Geordi La Forge in the iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation television series, is most proud of his role as host and executive producer of the beloved PBS children’s series Reading Rainbow, which was not only one of the longest-running children’s television shows in history--airing from 1983 to 2009—but also one of the most acclaimed, earning more than 200 awards, including multiple Emmys and a Peabody.
An actor, director, producer, writer, and speaker, Burton’s keynote, “A Conversation With LeVar Burton,” will touch on myriad topics, including the literacy problem in America, the future of the written word, and the impact of digital technologies.
