About Community Conversations

Community Conversations are free, open gatherings focused on inquiry, dialogue, and shared learning around organizational development. Open to members and nonmembers alike, we prioritize inquiry and shared sense-making over agenda-driven promotion.

TODN started these events to create a space where members of the OD community can join together to discuss topics of interest and learn together. 

Why Join the Conversation

• Conversation, not presentations. These sessions are centered on dialogue and shared inquiry rather than slides, panels, or prepared talks

• Inclusive and accessible. Open to members and nonmembers alike; no specific role, title, or OD background required.

• Curiosity over certainty. Participants are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, explore multiple perspectives, and sit with complexity.

• Lived experience welcomed. Insights come from the room—your stories, reflections, and real-world practice are the curriculum.

• A non-promotional space. We prioritize inquiry and shared sense-making over agenda-driven promotion.
