  Creating a survey may seem simple but there are many details that differentiate a smile sheet from a data collection tool. This session will show you how to design surveys that collect the highest quality data by focusing on how to write effective questions. It also provides an overview of survey design principles because questions are just the first element required to collect the data you need to inform your decisions. The session will even address how to achieve the highest response rates possible by reviewing various data collection strategies. Ready to upskill your surveys? Join us!

• May Meet & Greet

  • When
    May 21, 2026
  •  
    5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
  • Location
    Steel Bender Brewyard; 8305 2nd St NW, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, NM 87114

  You're invited to our Spring ATD NM Meet & Greet! 

  WHEN: Thursday, May 21st from 5:30 - 7:00 pm

  LOCATION: Steel Bender Brewyard @ 8305 2nd St NW, Los Ranchos De Albuquerque, NM 87114

  

  COST: FREE to attend. ATD NM will cover appetizers for the table and each person's first non-alcoholic drink. (Attendees should plan to pay for any other food or beverages that they order.)

  REGISTRATION: For planning purposes, we ask that you register for this event. Also, if your schedule changes and you can no longer come, please unregister yourself or let us know via email at atdnmprograms@gmail.com. While we generally have a good number of folks sign up for Meet & Greets, the average no-show rate for 2025 was 50%. This no-show rate makes it hard for us to plan with the restaurants because they set aside tables for us that end up empty (and that could have been used for other patrons).

  QUESTIONS: Email us at atdnmprograms@gmail.com and one of our board members will get back to you.

  What is a Meet & Greet? For ATD NM, these are informal social get togethers that our chapter hosts quarterly. Usually held at an Albuquerque restaurant, we generally do a simple "get-to-know-you" activity, but the bulk of the time is unstructured so attendees can connect with other Talent Development professionals.

  Designed for folks to drop by anytime during the 1.5 hr Meet & Greet, ATD NM usually covers appetizers for the table and each attendee's first non-alcoholic drink. Open to anyone in our ATD community and their guests.
