ATD RI Presents: Cultivating Connections.

Harvest New Ideas. Grow Your Network.

Join ATD Rhode Island for a special evening of networking, conversation, wine, and live music at beautiful WinterHawk Vineyards in West Kingston. This event is the official kickoff for our 2026-2027 season!

Step away from the usual workday and spend an evening connecting with fellow learning and talent development professionals in a relaxed vineyard setting. Whether you're a longtime ATD RI member, new to the community, or simply looking to expand your professional network, this is a great opportunity to meet new people, catch up with colleagues, and learn more about the plans and programs ATD RI has for the upcoming year.

The evening will feature live music from Rhode Island singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lisa Couto, adding the perfect soundtrack to our networking experience.

Lisa's eclectic musical style blends pop, R&B, rock, and folk influences, and her laid-back, uplifting performances are a wonderful fit for an evening of conversation and connection.

So come ready to relax, enjoy a glass of wine, and connect with the people who make our local learning and talent development community so special!

OWN THE CLIMB — The Leadership Mindset for Sustainable Performance

What does it take to perform at your best - sustainably? Monika Sattler's OWN THE CLIMB mindset shows you how to take responsibility for your own path to make your goals happen.

Monika Sattler - international keynote speaker, cycling record holder, performance advisor, and author - takes you along on her latest challenge: climbing 30 Swiss mountains in 30 days, drawing direct parallels to the business and learning and development worlds. She reveals the 5 key factors that help you stay aligned with your purpose, keep focused, and bounce back faster from setbacks.

You'll walk away with practical insights you can apply immediately, including how to:

Take ownership of your goals, choices, and progress.
Stay focused when distractions, competing priorities, or uncertainty arise.
Connect your actions to your purpose so your goals have meaning beyond the finish line.
Navigate setbacks without losing momentum or confidence.
Build sustainable performance that allows you to achieve more without burning out.

Whether you're leading a team, developing talent, navigating a career transition, or working toward a personal goal, the climb is yours to own.

Come ready to be challenged, inspired, and equipped with a new mindset for reaching your next summit.
