Instructional Design SIG | Virtual | Host Chapter: ATDCFL

The Florida ATD Instructional Design Special Interest Group (SIG) is a statewide, virtual learning community designed to support instructional designers and learning professionals across all Florida ATD chapters. The SIG provides a consistent, high-value space for members to connect, share practice, explore tools, and collaborate on real-world instructional design challenges.

What To Expect...
These Show & Share + Open Discussion sessions (March, May, July, September, and November) are designed to be flexible, collaborative, and practical. There’s no formal presentation. Instead, you are invited to bring current projects, tools, ideas, or challenges and learn together through conversation and peer feedback.

• Open discussion around real instructional design work
• Optional “show & share” moments (screenshots, drafts, tools, workflows)
• Peer feedback, idea exchange, and problem-solving
• A supportive space to learn from others doing the work

What's In It For You? 

• Get unstuck faster with input from fellow instructional designers

• Learn new tools, approaches, and shortcuts from peers

• Build stronger connections through shared practice

• Apply ideas immediately to your real-world projects

Think of a SIG as a club within the club.  It’s a small, trusted group where you show up consistently, share ideas, make mistakes, and grow together. Pick one or two SIGs this year, commit to the journey, and experience what real connection and learning inside ATDCFL feels like.

SIGs work because they’re built on consistency, trust, and shared purpose. When the same people show up month after month, conversations go deeper, feedback gets better, and learning turns into real progress. By committing to one or two SIGs, you’re not just attending meetings; you are investing in a community that supports your growth, challenges your thinking, and helps you move forward faster than going it alone. That’s where the real value of a SIG lives.
