Post-Event Resources
Incident
Commanders Andrea Shalinsky and Linda Waddell
|
|
ISPI Vancouver kicked off 2008 with a session on
Emergency Preparedness: How Will Your Staff Perform in an
Emergency. Using a case study, presenters Linda Waddell
and Andrea Shalinsky challenged us to come up with ideas on
what learning solutions we would recommend to a large
multi-site organization, with several unions and significant
budget constraints, in the face of upcoming legislative
change. Then they shared the recommendations they made.
Click here to review the case study,
the presentation, or a list of quick tips for your personal
emergency preparedness. The case study document also contains a
personal emergency 12 month calendar to help us prepare for
am emergency, and a list of resources.

Content Convergence and
Integration 2008
March 12 - 14, 2008
Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver |
Content Convergence and Integration 2008
Managing corporate content, both on the web and in print, is
perhaps one of the most urgent, and interesting challenges
facing companies today. As the importance of establishing
and enhancing meaningful customer interactions becomes more
and more evident, this is a field of practice that can no
longer be ignored. And this is the conference to learn more
about the issues.
The speed of change in the CM landscape is
dizzying; hyped web solutions come and go, trends pop up and
disappear, DITA is old news – or maybe not … how do you
make sense of it all? Where are the voices of sanity and
calm reason? Good news: they’ll be at Content Convergence
and Integration 2008, covering content management from all
the angles.
CMS Wire says: ‘Gotta
love conference season. Catch Content Convergence and
Integration 2008 this March 12-14 in Vancouver,
BC, Canada. The three-day event
covers mobile, digital asset management, forward-looking
XML, and plen’y of social media
stuff.’
Attending this conference will
not only bring you up to speed with the latest developments,
it will show you how everything can – and does - connect
together to create extraordinary and meaningful exchanges
with your customers and users.
Check out the
conference site and
register today!
Full conference pass $699; save $100 if you book before
January 22nd.
NOTE: Special extra 10% discount for ISPI members: contact
Liessi @ 604-696-1993 x1 for the discount authentication

Attention student-members:
There are some interesting opportunities to volunteer as a
room monitor, for a half or a full day. If you are
interested in this opportunity, which includes breakfast and
lunch, and will allow you to follow all the morning
presentations in your assigned room, and/or participate in
the afternoon workshop, please contact Emma directly at
604-696-1993 x3, or cell: 604-317-2234
Don’t wait too long, though.
Experience has taught is that there are always more
volunteers than slots to fill. We will require proof of your
(full-time) student status and confirmation that you are a
student-member of ISPI.

Performance Improvement Conference, April
3-8, 2008 |
The
Performance Improvement Conference
New York Marriott Marquis Hotel
New York City, New York
This
year's theme, Enhancing Knowledge, Know-How, and Results,
is about improving how we put our knowledge to work and
increasing our ability to accomplish valued results.
At our 46th Annual
Conference, April 5-8, 2008, in New York City, New York, the
International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI)
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, universities, and other
organizations. You will want to hear what they say, to share
your insights, to move our field forward, and to improve
your performance.
