Our theme is simple yet very profound: THE
Performance Improvement Conference!
At the International Society for
Performance Improvement's (ISPI) Conference, April 19-22, 2009, in
Orlando, Florida, we will continue to shape the future of performance
improvement through learning, sharing, working together, and networking.
We will gather great minds and practices from the environments where
human performance technology (HPT), with all its potential, has so much
to offer, including business, government, military, health care,
academia, and other organizations. You will want to hear what they say,
share your insights, help move our profession forward, and improve your
performance. The knowledge available in our field is dynamic and
growing. Our thought leaders are constantly adding to the foundations of
that knowledge. Every year our practitioners discover new ways to
implement what we have learned so far.
During our conference, we will come
together to learn and share. We will build on what we know already,
improve our skills at applying that knowledge, and facilitate the
creation of valued results for ourselves, our clients, our
organizations, and society in general. Come to Orlando, that magical
destination in the Florida sun, to enhance your ability to create "the
magic of improved performance."
THE Performance Improvement Conference
will focus on three key areas: improving human performance in corporate
settings, applying the theory and practice of human performance
improvement worldwide, and sharing knowledge and innovation with those
who are newly entering our profession.
