for you to share with your colleagues.
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. What's on the Program? THE Performance Improvement Conference 2009 starts with a premier lineup of half-day, one-day, and two-day workshops on April 18-19. Then, the conference expands into three days, April 20-22, of nearly 200 educational sessions. Activities include orientations, dynamic roundtable discussions, networking sessions, and unique conference events to cultivate positive and productive engagement of all participants.
