This year's theme, Performance Beyond
Borders, focuses attention on spanning all performance parameters: geographical, cultural, organizational, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Our globalized world is challenging us to find common ground for greater success by reaching out across national boundaries, diverse cultures, and different languages, as well as prior mindsets and past practices. As organizational boundaries become more porous, previous perceptions are increasingly being questioned and expanded.
This year we have a unique opportunity to leverage the special ISPI and IFTDO synergy. Together we will blend our areas of expertise and practice and explore how Human Performance Technology (HPT) can extend beyond barriers to enable individuals and organizations to achieve new, previously unimagined results.
Within a conference environment of inclusion, intimacy, and innovation, ISPI and IFTDO will explore different views and diverse ideas in a celebration of four core performance principles:
focusing on results, taking a systems view, adding value, and promoting
partnerships. These principles are our unifying features. Regardless of culture, location, discipline, and position, these principles provide bridges for Performance Beyond Borders.
Come to San Francisco, an international city alive with the cultures and languages of the West and the East, the Old World and the New, the traditional and the novel. With neighborhoods that reflect a diverse mix of the human experience, this city provides a perfect background for our unique international conference focused on human performance. Participants are assured an experience that will be engaging, enlightening, and exciting.

For
the fifth year,
ISPI
is pleased to welcome the German Delegation representing companies in the
field of Qualification and Performance.
Germany's
Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology is sponsoring a
booth that will feature German training and development companies. The
German participation was Organized by the "Q-Federation for
Qualification," whose main goal is to create a US-German Network on
Training and Development. The aim of this initiative is to bring together
colleagues from both the United States and Germany to exchange ideas,
experiences and solutions and perhaps discuss possibilities for business
partnerships. Most of the participating companies offer consulting,
developing and training services, and e-learning solutions.
