Roger Addison welcomed everyone, introduced his co-hosts, and presented some key concepts. Roger Chevalier followed with an explanation of the Certified Performance Technologist (CPT) designation, the certification process, its value, and how to use the conference to learn more about it.
Carol Haig and Roger Addison gave an overview of Human Performance Technology (HPT), some definitions, and provided guidance on how to identify key HPT principles in the sessions you will be attending. These include:
- Taking a systems approach
- Focusing on results and adding value

- Avoiding "solution bias"
- How to talk to others about HPT
