Why it exists

Because learning is a craft

Most webinars treat instructional designers as an audience. ID Power Hour treats them as collaborators.

Every session is built around a real challenge brought by the community — the kind of messy, ambiguous problem you can't solve by reading another deck.

The result: better questions, sharper thinking, and a network of peers you can actually call when something gets hard.

What we value

Five things we hold close

Curiosity

We come ready to question what we think we know.

Reflection

Time and space to think, not just consume.

Collaboration

Peer learning over expert monologues.

Practical Problem Solving

Conversations grounded in real work.

Evidence-Informed Design

Curiosity tempered with rigor.
