ISPI Galway Conference
Registration Now Open
The theme for the ISPI Europe/EMEA 2009 conference is:
An Organization IS Its People: Surviving and, In Fact, Thriving in Challenging Times.
Last month, we introduced Dee Carri of Torque Management in Ireland who will join us as a keynote speaker. If you missed that installment, you can scroll down to read about Dee Carri and you will see why we are so pleased to announce her as a featured speaker. Watch for details on our second keynote speaker, Barry Vorster of EPI-USE Worldwide, one of the world’s premier providers of information technology solutions.
We want to share some of the topics that you will find at this year’s conference, in addition to, and supporting, our hands-on centerpiece, a simulation, based on a real performance improvement effort in the public sector. So . . . if you are looking for an opportunity to:
• learn and share new ideas, tools and approaches
• network and work alongside a diverse and highly skilled group of professionals, and
• actually apply your skills and knowledge in a safe and supportive environment,
